Gradient Lace Shawl
Introducing a beautifully designed crescent-shaped shawl, crafted with your favorite shades of lace in mind! This stunning shawl utilizes 5 colors of gradient shades of sock yarn, giving it a vibrant and elegant look that's perfect for any season.
The unique color transition is achieved through 3 rows of seed stitch, which creates a delightful rick-rack effect between the hues. This technique not only adds visual interest but also enhances the overall texture of the shawl. We highly recommend using a Gradient set of lovely colors to make the most of this pattern!
Finished Size: Unblocked, the shawl measures 35” wide by 12 1/2” deep, and after blocking, it expands to a generous 52” wide by 18” deep, making it the perfect accessory to wrap around your shoulders or style in a variety of ways.
Materials Needed: For this project, you will need 5 colors of sock or fingering weight yarn, totaling approximately 380 yards. Here’s the breakdown for each contrasting color:
- Contrasting Color #1 (CC1) -- 30 yards

- Contrasting Color #3 (CC3) -- 75 yards

Additionally, you will need a 29” circular needle, size 7 (4.50 mm) or the size needed to achieve the correct gauge.
