Salvia Shawl

If you’re passionate about lace knitting like I am, you’ve likely spent hours poring over lace books filled with beautiful patterns and intricate designs. After completing a few shawls, hats, and various projects, I decided to create a shawl that would be perfect for beginners. I wanted a design that features an easy-to-start base and an uncomplicated lace pattern that’s simple to memorize, yet results in a delicate and lovely finished product. Enter the **Salvia Shawl**!

The pattern is structured in two sections of stockinette stitch followed by two sections of beautiful lace, making it an ideal project for those new to lace knitting. This engaging combination allows knitters to practice their skills without feeling overwhelmed.
