Mythology Lace Club Shawl by Holiday Yarns - May 2012
Introducing the exquisite Mythology Lace Club Shawl from Holiday Yarns, a stunning pattern that marries intricate cables with delicate lacework in an almost square design. This eye-catching shawl is perfect for knitters looking to showcase their skills and create a statement piece. The pattern begins with a provisional cast-on, allowing for a beautifully finished edge as you work flat on the center section. Once completed, you’ll pick up stitches around the center, transitioning seamlessly into the next phase where the remainder of the shawl is crafted in the round, enhancing its unique design.
The third section of the shawl features expanding triangles at the corners, transforming the initial square into a striking octagonal shape. This innovative construction not only adds visual interest but also showcases the interplay of cables and lace. You can easily customize the size of your shawl by adjusting the number of repeats in the third chart, making it as large or small as you desire. For best results, this section can be repeated multiple times before moving on to the border. The pattern visible in the featured shawl was worked twice for a more dramatic effect.
The comprehensive pattern includes both written instructions and detailed charts for your convenience, with the written directions conveniently located on pages 3-5. For those who prefer visual guides, the charts are provided as a separate PDF file. This versatility makes the Mythology Lace Club Shawl accessible to knitters of all experience levels.
Enhance your shawl with beautiful beads using the crochet hook technique, which allows for easy attachment before you work each stitch, adding a touch of glamour to your project.
Gauge and Size Considerations – A note on gauge: Achieving an exact gauge is not crucial for this project; feel free to use a needle size that yields a fabric texture you find appealing. This flexibility allows you to create a shawl that truly reflects your personal style while ensuring comfort and wearability.
Unleash your creativity and indulge in your passion for knitting with the Mythology Lace Club Shawl. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a cherished gift, this pattern is sure to impress!
