Celtic Hearts Shawl

This beautiful knitting pattern features intricate two twist-stitch and lace panels set against a soft knit background. Inspired by a stunning Celtic design, this pattern evokes the imagery of hearts and mazes, adding a unique touch to your shawl collection.

The pattern includes two detailed charts for the lace panels, along with comprehensive written instructions to ensure you can follow along easily. When completed to its full width of 14.5 inches (37 cm), this shawl requires approximately 800 yards of high-quality lace-weight yarn, resulting in a generous length of about 57 inches (145 cm). For your knitting plans, it's helpful to note that each pattern repeat measures roughly 3 inches (7.6 cm) and consumes around 50 yards (45.7 m) of yarn.

For this project, we recommend using Silver Spun Silk, a luxurious and smooth lace-weight yarn known for having minimal halo, which enhances the delicate appearance of lace without overwhelming the design.

While the sample shawl features a twist-stitch technique, you have the option to work it as a 2-stitch cable for a different texture and look. If you choose to go this route, a cable needle may be beneficial. To keep your knitting organized and your design on track, we advise using twelve stitch markers as a handy tool to help navigate through the pattern.

This knitting pattern is perfect for knitters looking to challenge themselves while creating a stunning piece that is both elegant and functional. Don’t miss out on the chance to add this charming shawl to your repertoire of knitting projects!
