Old Shale Shawl

Discover the beauty of knitting with this **triangular-shaped shawl pattern**, expertly crafted to be worked in one seamless piece, from the top down. To get started, you'll utilize the **garter tab cast on method**, which is not only effective but also beginner-friendly. For your convenience, I’ve included a helpful tutorial link that guides you through this technique step-by-step.

This elegant shawl pattern is available in both written instructions and a detailed chart format. The chart is designed to be user-friendly and ideal for knitters who are new to following charts, making it an excellent choice for those eager to enhance their skills.

This shawl is perfect for beginners venturing into shawl knitting as well as those looking to explore lace knitting. The design of this shawl is inspired by my popular **Skoosh! Shawl**. After completing the Skoosh!, I was inspired to create a second shawl that features a touch of lace patterning. Many new knitters find the thought of knitting lace daunting, but rest assured, this pattern is straightforward and manageable: it consists of only four rows in the pattern repeat, with just one of those rows designated as the lace pattern row.

Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this delightful shawl will not only expand your skills but also provide a stunning accessory for your wardrobe. Dive into this project and experience the satisfaction of creating your very own beautiful lace shawl!
