Damask Lace Shawl

This delightful knitting pattern is designed for an elegant knit shawl that beautifully showcases a variety of Estonian stitches, including both gathered and lace techniques. This wrap is perfect for those who appreciate intricate patterns and textures. Unlike many traditional Estonian shawls, where the edging is knitted separately and then sewn or grafted on, this unique pattern modifies the process by allowing you to knit the edging directly onto the shawl. This approach makes it easier and more intuitive for most knitters who are familiar with adding edgings in this manner. Additionally, the pattern includes detailed instructions for an optional crocheted edging, offering even more creative flexibility. Skill Level: Intermediate—this pattern assumes you have a basic understanding of lace knitting techniques. You’ll find that the patterns for all the stitches are presented both in chart format and written out line by line, making it easy to follow along regardless of your preferred method. This comprehensive format ensures that knitters of varying skill levels can enjoy and successfully complete the project. The wrap has been meticulously tested by the talented Barbara Robertson, who has provided invaluable feedback to ensure the pattern’s accuracy and ease of use. If you have any questions or need assistance, you can reach Barbara at her email: Barb.Robertson@gmail.com. Whether you’re creating a stunning piece for yourself or considering it as a thoughtful gift for a fellow knitting enthusiast, this knitted Estonian shawl is sure to impress.
