Newbridge Lace Shawl

Introducing a beautifully crafted, lightweight shawl pattern, perfect for those cool spring or fall evenings, or even for the summer months when air conditioning can be a bit too chilly for comfort. This shawl knits up quickly, making it an ideal gift for yourself or someone special in your life. Whether you're looking to add a stylish accessory to your wardrobe or create a heartfelt present, this pattern is sure to deliver.

The shawl features two distinct lace stitches that are meticulously charted and also written out line by line for ease of use. The main lace stitch, inspired by a variation of elegant leaf lace patterns, comes from the rich tradition of Japanese knitting. When completed, the shawl will measure approximately 22 1/2 inches by 72 inches, making it a versatile piece that can be worn in multiple ways.

Additionally, the pattern includes instructions for an optional edging, allowing you to customize the look of your shawl. The edging can add a touch of sophistication and a finished look, but it's entirely optional based on your preference.

This knitting pattern is designed for skill levels ranging from beginner + to intermediate, assuming you have a basic understanding of lace knitting techniques. It’s a fantastic project for beginners who are ready to challenge themselves with a bit of lacework experience.

The sample shawl was crafted using Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport undyed yarn, but you can easily substitute any heavy fingering or sport weight yarn to make this shawl uniquely yours. No crochet hooks are required unless you choose to add the lovely optional edging, simplifying the process and keeping it focused on knitting.
