A lovely shawl

**A Lovely Shawl Knitting Pattern**: This enchanting shawl is expertly knitted in one continuous piece, beginning with a delicate lace border that beautifully frames the design. The body of the shawl is skillfully shaped using short rows, creating an elegant and flowing silhouette. To knit this stunning shawl, you will need just **two skeins** of yarn—one in each of your chosen colors. After blocking, the finished shawl measures approximately **63 inches (1.6 m) long** and **18 inches (45 cm) wide**, making it a perfect accessory for any outfit. The pattern includes detailed written instructions, but please note that the lace stitch instructions are presented in chart format for clarity.

**Materials Needed**: For this project, the preferred yarn is a fingering (sock) weight. I used **BELLE of ARTFIL**, which comes in a generous 100g skein with 354 meters / 387 yards of yarn. To complete this lovely shawl, gather the following materials:

• **1 skein in Charcoal color**
• **1 skein in Natural color**
• **Circular or straight knitting needles, US size 7**

**Gauge**: Achieve a gauge of **19.5 stitches and 16 rows** per **4 inches (10 cm)** in stockinette stitch using US size 7 needles after blocking. This gauge is essential to ensure that your lovely shawl maintains the desired size and drape.

This shawl is an ideal project for knitters looking to enhance their skills with lacework and short rows.
