Priscilla

**Priscilla Shawl Knitting Pattern: A Gorgeous Crescent Shaped Lace Delight** Priscilla is a lovely, light, and airy crescent-shaped shawl that is expertly knit from the center of the neck out to an elegant, lacy edge. This stunning shawl features a beautiful combination of stitch patterns, including garter, stockinette, and intricate lace. Knit in lace weight yarn, it serves as a perfect accent piece for your summer outfits, adding a touch of sophistication and charm. When crafted in fingering weight, Priscilla transforms into a substantial wrap that can be a cozy addition to any spring or fall wardrobe. This knitting pattern features a very easy lace design that employs basic stitches—ssk, yo, k2tog, and cdd—within an easily memorized eight-stitch pattern repeat. This makes it an ideal choice for those new to lace knitting or for experienced knitters looking for a relaxing project. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned knitter, you’ll find that Priscilla provides the perfect blend of simplicity and beauty. I have decided to name all my personal knitting designs after my ancestors and family members. The inspiration comes from my desire to continue my family's legacy of giving, with all proceeds from the sale of this pattern supporting college scholarships. Want to learn more about this mission?
