Introducing our stunning and stylish top-down semi-circular shawl knitting pattern, perfect for knitters of all levels! This design seamlessly transitions from cozy stocking stitch to a delicate lacy edging, all completed in single rows for a straightforward knitting experience. Choose from two sizes: a smaller shawlette that's ideal for a quick project, or a more generous shawl that drapes beautifully around your shoulders. This versatile pattern can be crafted in laceweight to sportweight yarns, making it the perfect canvas for showcasing your favorite hand-dyed treasures.

The lace patterns are conveniently provided in both written and charted formats, catering to various knitting preferences. Our step-by-step instructions guide you through the slightly unconventional beginning technique, which features a variation of the garter tab start, affectionately known as Åsa's Amazing Tab Cast On. This innovative method adds a clever twist to your project, ensuring a polished finish from the get-go!
