Donnegal Cable Lace Shawl
This exquisite shawl showcases a unique combination of cable stitching and traditional Shetland lace techniques, resulting in a striking accessory perfect for any knitting enthusiast. If you love knitting cable lace, you will find the innovative cable stitch featured in this pattern both intriguing and enjoyable to work on. Even experienced cable knitters may discover this particular design unexpected and refreshingly different from their usual repertoire.
The intricate stitches are conveniently charted out, making it easier for you to follow along as you create this beautiful piece. This pattern caters to intermediate knitters, so a solid understanding of both cable and lace knitting is assumed for successful completion.
Additionally, the pattern includes detailed instructions for an optional crocheted edging, allowing you to add a finishing touch if desired. The sample shawl was crafted using Handmaiden's Casbah yarn, but fear not—almost any heavy fingering weight or light sport weight yarn will work wonderfully for this project, providing you with flexibility in your yarn choice.
If you prefer a simpler finishing method, crochet hooks are not necessary unless you choose to incorporate the crocheted edging, giving you the freedom to knit according to your preferences. Dive into this pattern and discover the satisfaction of creating a stunning shawl that beautifully blends unique cable and lace techniques!
