Lapwing
**Updated December 2021** - The Lapwing shawl knitting pattern has received a comprehensive update, which includes tech editing and test knitting to ensure accuracy and ease of use. This version now features detailed charts, creative ideas for modifications—including suggestions for yarn types, color combinations, different yarn weights, and optional beading—and all new sample and yarn details to inspire your next project.
Lapwing is a beautifully designed biased simple lace shawl that can be crafted using any weight and amount of yarn. The main body of this stunning shawl is straightforward, making it incredibly easy to memorize the pattern. Simply keep knitting until you use up your yarn, allowing for a unique piece tailored to your preferences. This versatility makes it perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters alike!
In the original sample, a DK weight yarn was used; however, due to the construction of the pattern—which is worked on the bias—you can easily adapt it to accommodate various yarn amounts. The pattern includes specific recommendations for adjusting needle sizes to work seamlessly with different yarn weights, providing even more flexibility for your knitting adventure.
The gorgeous gradient blue and pink sample shawl measures approximately 70" [176cm] from tip to tip and 18" [47cm] deep, but remember, the size is fully adjustable to fit your desired outcome. Whether you're knitting a generous wrap or a delicate neck scarf, this pattern is designed to meet your needs!
Additionally, the pink sample showcases the beauty of Rialto 4ply yarn, further illustrating the adaptability and elegance of the Lapwing shawl. Dive into this knitting project and explore the endless possibilities of yarn choices, colors, and embellishments!
