Handspun Delight

Discover the beauty of handmade artistry with this exquisite shawl pattern that showcases hand-spun yarn. Designed specifically for those new to spinning, this shawl pattern effortlessly highlights the typical thick-and-thin yarn that most beginners create. Whether you're working with hand-dyed, variegated yarns or a delightful mix of yarn odds and ends, this versatile design is perfect for both showcasing your unique creations and engaging in stash busting projects.

The shawl features a comfortable stockinette body and a stunning border inspired by the Old Shale lace pattern, creating a delicate yet striking finish. This pattern includes comprehensive charts and detailed written instructions to guide you through each step, making it suitable for knitters of all skill levels.

This pattern provides clear instructions to create shawls in three sizes: S (M, L), featuring 5 (7, 9) elegant Old Shale lace fans. Each size offers the option to extend the lace edging, enhancing the overall beauty and customization of your shawl. When using bulky weight yarn, size S will yield a charming shawlette reminiscent of the pink sample. In contrast, using worsted weight yarn for size L with the extended lace border produces a generous, cozy shawl, similar to the stunning blue-green sample. Additionally, opting for fingering weight yarn in the largest size and extended border creates an equally beautiful, but lighter, shawlette—perfect for year-round wear.

Embrace your creativity and elevate your knitting projects with this delightful shawl pattern that combines elegance, functionality, and the joy of using hand-spun yarn. Perfect for knitters looking to explore new techniques or simply enjoy a relaxing knit, this pattern is a must-have for your collection!
