Glasgow Cable Lace Shawl

Introducing a stunning lace and cable shawl pattern that showcases an exquisite combination of a unique cable stitch and a traditional Shetland lace stitch. Crafted with care and creativity, this striking shawl pattern is inspired by the innovative designs of Canadian designer Annie Maloney. Perfect for knitters looking to elevate their skills, this project offers a delightful challenge.

This shawl is not for the faint of heart; it requires an intermediate to advanced skill level. The intricate lacework is a genuine lace technique, while the cable stitch necessitates meticulous attention to detail. Even seasoned cable knitters will encounter a fresh and exciting twist with this particular cable design, making it a rewarding experience for those willing to push their knitting boundaries.

The stitch patterns for this beautiful shawl are charted exclusively, providing a clear visual guide as you create your masterpiece. The final dimensions of the shawl measure approximately 20 1/2 inches in width and 72 inches in length, making it a perfect accessory for any season. To complete this project, you will need around 1050 yards of yarn, and for the best results, we recommend using Handmaiden’s Casbah yarn in the enchanting colorway, Kelpie.

For those who wish to add an extra touch of elegance, the pattern includes optional instructions for a crocheted edging. However, if you prefer a more streamlined approach, you can skip the crochet hooks and still achieve a beautiful shawl without the edging. This pattern is versatile and can be knitted with any heavy fingering weight or sport weight yarn, allowing you to personalize your project to suit your style.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your knitting portfolio or create a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this lace and cable shawl pattern is sure to impress. Embrace the challenge and artistry of complex knitting with this delightful project that combines elegance and sophistication in every stitch.
