Chrysler crown shawl

Introducing this stunning rectangular shawl knitting pattern, inspired by the iconic Art Deco design elements of the Chrysler Building in New York City. Featuring a unique mesh appearance, this elegant shawl is perfect for knitters looking to create a standout accessory. This charted lace pattern includes intricate lace work on every other row, making it a delightful challenge for those who appreciate detailed knitting.

The pattern begins with a provisional cast on, allowing you to create a beautifully symmetrical shawl with a nearly invisible join at the center. For those who prefer a different technique, you can opt to start with a garter border and knit from one end to the other, resulting in a classic finished look. Alternatively, for knitters interested in versatility, you can knit from both ends towards the middle and seamlessly graft the sections together, allowing you to reverse the motif direction for a unique twist!

With a comprehensive layout spanning 5 pages, this pattern includes expert advice, detailed pictures, and clear instructions to guide you through each step of the process. Additionally, there are 2 pages dedicated to charts to ensure your lace pattern turns out perfectly, even for those new to chart reading.

**ERRATA**: Please note an important correction regarding the “special” single decrease stitches—the lifted stitch is mistakenly shown on the wrong side. Below are the instructions for the “special” decreases:

• Special SSK: Slip 1 stitch knitwise, then lift the bar between the stitches on the needles and place it on the right needle. Next, knit the two stitches on the right needle together for a clean decrease.
• Special K2tog: To execute this decrease, first lift the bar between the two stitches on the needles and place it back on the left needle. Then perform a k2tog to secure the decrease while maintaining the integrity of your lace pattern.

This elegant shawl pattern combines artistry and technique, making it an ideal project for intermediate to advanced knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a timeless piece.
