Introducing a stunning triangular lace shawl pattern, expertly designed with a large diamond motif and an elegantly unusual scalloped border. This exquisite shawl is perfect for intermediate knitters looking to elevate their skills and create a breathtaking accessory that can be worn on any occasion.
Materials Needed:
To complete this beautiful shawl, you'll need 2 skeins of Lotus Silky Cashmere Fingering yarn, a luxurious blend of 55% Silk and 45% Mongolian Cashmere, featuring a 2-ply/lace weight. Each skein contains approximately 365 meters (400 yards) per 55 grams (2 ounces), allowing you to achieve the intricate lacework required for this pattern. The showcased shawl is highlighted in shade: 10.
Don’t forget to grab a 3.75mm circular needle (UK 9/US 5) with an 80cm (32in) length for added comfort while knitting.
Difficulty Level:
This pattern is categorized as intermediate, making it an ideal project for those who have some knitting experience and are comfortable working with lace stitches.
Finished Size:
Upon completion, your shawl will have an impressive wingspan of 180cm (71 inches) and a length of 100cm (39½ inches), making it a stunning addition to your wardrobe or a thoughtful gift for a loved one.
Tension Requirements:
For the best results, aim for a tension of 16 stitches and 26 rows over 10cm (4 inches) in Chart B after blocking. While the exact tension is not critical, be aware that any variations may affect the final size and amount of yarn required, so it's important to check your gauge before getting started.
