Lakeshore Shawl

An elegant shawl is an essential accessory for any knitter’s wardrobe, seamlessly combining style and functionality. Perfect for cooler days, this beautiful piece can be draped and overlapped comfortably around your neck and shoulders, providing warmth and sophistication. On milder spring and summer days, the shawl serves as a chic cover-up against unexpected breezes, adding a touch of elegance to your ensemble. For special occasions where casual attire simply won’t suffice, there’s nothing quite like a delicate lace shawl to elevate your outfit and attract compliments!

The **Lakeshore shawl** is a delightful lace project tailored for knitters who are comfortable with the basics of lace stitches and are ready for a slightly more intermediate challenge. Both experienced and newer lace knitters will appreciate the familiar structure of this triangular shawl, which is worked from the top outwards, featuring "resting" rows of purl stitches on the wrong side that provide a welcome break throughout the knitting process. With clear instructions and a beautiful design, this pattern is perfect for those looking to refine their lace skills.

To create your stunning Lakeshore shawl, select 2 skeins of your favorite color of **Tanis Fiber Arts silver label mulberry silk**, or aim for 850 yards of your preferred silk or a luxurious wool-silk blend in a laceweight or light fingering weight yarn. Embrace the joy of knitting this exquisite piece, and let your creativity shine as you fashion a shawl that can be styled in numerous ways, making it a versatile addition to your accessory collection.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or looking to take your skills to the next level, the Lakeshore shawl promises to be a rewarding project that yields a stunning piece you'll cherish for years to come!
