Contemplation

Introducing "Contemplation," an exquisite knitting pattern that beautifully incorporates my favorite lace design, the Frost Flower. This stunning shawl features a main body artfully framed by a delicate leaf and lace trim along the edges. The ends of the shawl flow seamlessly into a continuation of intricate lace and leaf motifs, creating a visually captivating piece that is perfect for any knitting enthusiast.

This pattern is available in both charted and row-by-row written instructions, making it an approachable project for experienced knitters looking to enhance their skills. The finished dimensions, when blocked, measure approximately 24 inches by 68 inches, but don’t worry—length can be easily customized through the pattern repeats to suit your personal preference.

Gauge is not a critical factor for this project, as various yarns will still yield similar dimensions, allowing for creative freedom in your selection. To complete "Contemplation," you will need 1100 yards of heavy-weight lace yarn. The model was crafted using Miss Babs Dulcinea, though this yarn has regrettably been discontinued. Fortunately, you can choose from splendid alternatives like Miss Babs Yearning or Avon, both of which offer exceptional quality and a beautiful finish.

For your knitting supplies, gather #5 (3.75mm) knitting needles and six stitch markers. Dive into the world of lace with "Contemplation" and create a captivating piece that showcases your passion for knitting. Perfect as a gift or as a personal accessory, this pattern is a must-have in your knitting library!
