This beautiful shawl pattern showcases exquisite lace details at both the neckline and hem, elegantly framed by an ever-growing stockinette stitch panel in between. Designed for both novice and experienced knitters, this pattern is created using one strand of fingering weight yarn held together with a strand of luxurious lace mohair, resulting in a lightweight yet cozy accessory. Whether you’re preparing for a chilly evening or looking for a stylish wrap, this shawl will become a staple in your wardrobe.

One of the standout features of this pattern is its adjustability. You can easily modify it by adding or omitting repeats, allowing you to accommodate different quantities of fingering weight skeins, making it versatile for your yarn stash. You will use almost all of the fingering weight yarn, with the final row and bind-off completed using only the laceweight. As such, keep in mind you'll need a bit more laceweight yarn than fingering for the best results.

The pattern instructions are completely written out with no charts, making it easy to follow for those who prefer verbal directions. You'll also require a couple of stitch markers, which are not optional; they play a crucial role in keeping track of your stitches and ensuring your project flows smoothly.

Stitches used in this shawl include knit, purl, s1-k2tog-psso, slip, ssk, and YO. While the stitches themselves are straightforward, the unique construction of this pattern demands careful attention, making it ideal for knitters looking to challenge themselves. Therefore, I would not recommend this pattern for beginners unless you are particularly adventurous and eager to learn.

In summary, this stunning shawl combines beauty and practicality, offering a delightful knitting experience. Ideal for makers looking to expand their skills while creating a timeless piece, this pattern is a must-have in your collection. So grab your yarn and get ready to immerse yourself in this captivating shawl knitting adventure!
