Ayr Longwingspan Shawl

This beautifully detailed pattern for a stunning "long wingspan" crescent-shaped shawl features two exquisite lace stitches that will elevate your knitting projects. The main focal stitch is a unique "true" lace inspired by traditional Russian designs, setting this shawl apart as an instant heirloom piece. Additionally, the ornate lace edging, crafted in the classic Shetland style, adds an exquisite touch to this already striking shawl. Measuring an impressive 74 inches across the widest points at the top and 26 inches deep at its deepest point, this shawl is perfect for those looking to wrap themselves in warmth and elegance. It is designed with a heavier fingering weight yarn, making it both cozy and soft. For this project, you'll need size #6 (U.S.) knitting needles and approximately 1100 yards of yarn, making it a substantial and rewarding knitting endeavor. Unlike many shawls in the same category, the crescent shape of this shawl is more subtle, which allows the intricate details of the focal stitch to be prominently displayed. Whether you are an experienced lace knitter or an advanced beginner with basic lace knowledge, you'll find that the stitches are both charted and written out line by line for your convenience. This exceptional shawl pattern has been expertly test knitted by Barbara Robertson (Barb.Robertson@gmail.com), ensuring its quality and accuracy. Dive into the world of lace knitting with this unique crescent-shaped shawl pattern, and create a piece that will be cherished for generations.
