Lydia Crescent Lace Shawl

Small shawls are a brilliant way to showcase beautiful sock yarn that’s simply too stunning to remain hidden on your feet! This crescent-shaped shawl is not only stylish but also incredibly easy to wear, as it stays securely in place without the need for a shawl pin. Versatile and functional, it can be styled as a scarf and draped in numerous ways to suit your outfit and mood.

This delightful pattern is designed specifically to use just one skein (440 yards/402 meters) of solid, semi-solid, or gently variegated yarn, making it a perfect project for utilizing that special skein you've been saving. The construction begins with a center neck cast on, incorporating two columns of yarn-over increases along with additional increases at the edges. The incorporation of baby cables embellishes the two "spines" of the shawl, adding an extra touch of elegance.

The first section is crafted entirely in garter stitch, allowing knitters to experience fast progress as they work. Complimenting this are intricate lace edging details featuring two sets of interlocking triangles outlined with yarn-overs, resulting in a stunning scalloped edge. When blocked, these edges form lovely points that contribute to the shawl's graceful and feminine appearance.

This carefully crafted pattern has been professionally tech-edited to ensure clarity and usability, and it includes both written instructions and charted diagrams, catering to all types of knitters. The sample shawl is made with Dream in Color Smooshy in the shade Beach Fog, a gorgeously soft yarn that enhances the overall aesthetics of the piece. If you're looking for alternatives, suggested substitutes are provided below for your convenience.
