Paw Prints Lace Shawl

Discover this beautiful shawl pattern, expertly designed to be worked from the top down in one seamless piece. To begin, you'll use a provisional cast-on with two strands of lace weight yarn held together, starting with just 5 stitches. The shawl features a lovely garter stitch, where you'll create the desired number of garter ridges as specified in the pattern for the top edge. Once you've completed this section, you'll pick up stitches along the sides of the garter ridges, allowing for a smooth transition to the main body of the shawl.

Following the detailed pattern and accompanying chart, you'll effortlessly complete this stunning shawl that is perfect for various occasions. When it comes to blocking, I recommend using two 70” flexible blocking wires—one along the top edge and another at the bottom tips—ensuring your shawl retains its beautiful shape.

This versatile shawl can be crafted using any lace weight yarn of your choice. For those looking to create a larger size, simply opt for fingering weight yarn and size US 7 (4.5mm) to US 8 (5.0mm) needles to achieve your desired dimensions.

Enjoy every stitch of this delightful pattern, and don't hesitate to reach out via email if you have any questions! This shawl is not just a project; it's an experience to cherish. Happy knitting!
