Love is ...

Love is… is a beautifully crafted beaded and lacy shawl, designed with a top-down, crescent shape. Perfect for knitters of various skill levels, this stunning shawl can be knitted using almost any gradient, semi-solid, or solid dyed heavy-weight lace yarn, typically around 600m/100g. However, it's important to note that alpaca-based yarns may not be suitable, as you will need a yarn base that retains its shape beautifully after blocking. The original shawl was exquisitely knitted in PookGB Pure Silk Heavy Lace Gradient, which enhances the shawl's delicate aesthetics and makes it an ideal choice for this project.

This knitting pattern is both fully written and charted, making it easy for all knitters to follow along.

For the best results, consider printing your pattern on a color printer.
