Koga Cable Lace Shawl

Discover an exquisite knit shawl pattern that seamlessly blends two captivating stitches: a traditional Russian stitch for the elegant border and a beautiful Japanese stitch as the focal point. This stunning shawl is not only an eye-catching accessory but also a delightful project for knitters who enjoy exploring intricate designs. Perfect for those with an affinity for lace, mesh, and cable lace techniques, this pattern is accessible to American, Canadian, and European knitters alike.

This pattern is rated as Intermediate, assuming a basic knowledge of lace knitting and cabling. The unique combination of stitches is both charted and provided in a line-by-line written format, ensuring clarity and ease of understanding for knitters of all skill levels.

To create this sophisticated shawl, you can use almost any heavy weight fingering or sport weight yarn, which gives a gauge of 5 stitches per inch in the cable lace pattern. For optimal results, I recommend using size US #6 or 4.0mm knitting needles to achieve the correct gauge. Whether you choose a luxurious fiber or a more budget-friendly option, the end result will be a beautifully crafted piece that you will cherish.

If you're interested in adding a special touch, the pattern includes instructions for an optional crocheted edging, which can elevate the final look of your shawl. However, if you're not inclined to crochet, no hooks are necessary to complete this project without the edging. Enjoy the journey of creating this elegant and one-of-a-kind shawl that will surely become a favorite addition to your knitwear collection.

Embark on your next knitting adventure with this unique shawl pattern and enjoy the process of creating a stunning piece that showcases the beauty of international stitch techniques!
