For Deborah

Deborah is one of the talented knitters who frequently test knit my designs, and I couldn't be more grateful for her support. When she expressed her love for a particular shawl construction that showcases intricate lacework, I eagerly embraced the challenge and crafted a unique piece just for her! This beautifully detailed shawl, aptly named the "For Deborah" shawl, combines elegance and complexity, making it a delightful project for knitters who share Deborah's passion.

This stunning shawl is knitted from the top-down in a seamless one-piece construction, beginning at the neck edge with a garter tab, which creates a stylish and secure foundation. The For Deborah shawl features an exquisite lace design throughout the body and is finished with a meticulously crafted edging that is knitted sideways. This edging is cleverly attached to the live stitches of the shawl's body as you work, ensuring a cohesive finished product. To make the knitting experience even more enjoyable, detailed instructions for the edging are provided in both charted and written formats, catering to different knitting preferences.

This shawl features a well-thought-out beginning with a garter stitch tab, and it incorporates essential knitting techniques such as knit, purl, slip-knot pass (skp), knit two together (k2tog), a centered double decrease, and yarn overs (yo).
