Easy Mikado Shawl

Introducing a beautifully designed pattern for a “long wingspan” crescent-shaped shawl that is perfect for knitters of all levels! This stunning shawlette features a delightful upper section crafted with an easy lace stitch, making it an enjoyable project for both beginner and intermediate knitters. The bottom of the shawl is adorned with a lovely lace edging that provides a wonderfully feminine finish, enhancing the overall elegance of this piece. Measuring 68 inches across the widest points at the top and 24 inches deep at the most generous part, this shawl is not only eye-catching but also versatile.

For this project, we recommend using Lorna’s Laces Sportmate yarn in two beautiful colors. However, feel free to customize your shawl with more muted shades or even a single color that suits your personal style. The lace edging is added in the traditional Shetland manner, providing an authentic touch while remaining accessible for those with a basic understanding of lace knitting techniques.

You are sure to enjoy both the knitting experience and the many ways you can wear this elegant shawl. It can be draped over the shoulders for a classic look, wrapped around the neck for added warmth, or even styled as a chic accessory for any outfit. With its unique crescent shape and intricate lacework, this shawlette is a perfect addition to any knitwear collection.

Skill Level: Beginner + - Intermediate (assuming a basic knowledge of lace knitting). Suitable for any heavy weight fingering or sport weight yarn, this pattern is adaptable to your preferred materials, allowing for endless creative possibilities.
