**Next Steps in Lace Shawl Pattern: A Comprehensive Intermediate Knitting Experience**
Unlock the art of lace knitting with the *Next Steps in Lace* shawl pattern, originally designed as an educational tool for an eight-month series of classes focused on intermediate lace stitch patterns. This beautifully crafted shawl begins with the intricate knitting of border sections on each end, allowing you to master essential techniques.
In this pattern, one border is set aside while you continue working on the other, skillfully incorporating various lace patterns in a sequential order. For those knitting the medium size, the reserved border is later grafted seamlessly onto the working piece, creating a stunning finish. Meanwhile, the large size allows for even more creativity; the reserved border is returned to the needles to repeat the lace patterns (with the exception of the final one) before both sections are expertly grafted together.
One of the standout features of the *Next Steps in Lace* shawl is its customizable length. You can easily adjust the number of sections to add or eliminate, tailoring the shawl's size to suit your personal style. The large size transforms into a cozy blanket wrap, perfect for snuggling up in cooler temperatures or making a bold statement during outdoor events.
The sample was thoughtfully knit in a natural-colored wool, allowing the intricate stitch patterns to shine through. However, don't hesitate to experiment with vibrant colors that showcase your unique flair!
With a comprehensive 25-page pattern guide, you'll find detailed instructions that cater to intermediate knitters looking to elevate their skills.
**Finished Size (blocked):** 21”/53.5 cm wide by 65.5 (106)“/166 (269) cm long.
