Big Bird's Eye

Discover the beauty and elegance of our lace shawl pattern, inspired by the traditional Shetland lace stitch known as 'Bird's Eye'. Unlike classic Shetland lace shawls that can take a long time to complete, this design is crafted with bulky yarn and large needles for a quick and satisfying knit.

Size: Enjoy a generous width of 184cm (72.4") and a depth of 92cm (36.2"), making this shawl the perfect accessory for any outfit, whether layered for warmth or worn as a statement piece.

Yarn Requirements: You will need approximately 520m (567 yards) of DK or Worsted weight yarn to create this stunning shawl. Choose your favorite color to complement your wardrobe and showcase the intricate 'Bird's Eye' stitch pattern.

Needles and Tools: For this project, you will need a 6.00mm 100cm circular needle to accommodate the stitches as well as 5.00mm Double Pointed Needles (DPNs) for the set-up phase. Other essential tools include a crochet hook for the initial set-up, waste yarns for holding stitches, stitch markers for easy tracking, and a tapestry needle to weave in any ends and finish your shawl beautifully.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 12 stitches and 20 rows per 10cm (4") in Stockinette Stitch when using the 6.00mm needle after blocking. While gauge is not crucial for this design, it is important to consider for accurate yardage and overall fit.
