Introducing the perfect lace knitting pattern designed specifically for beginner lace knitters! This exquisite triangle shawl pattern serves as a delightful sample of various lace stitches, guiding you through the creation of an elegant accessory. You will learn to master 6 distinct lace stitches, all worked solely on the right side of the shawl, with each wrong side simply purled for simplicity. The shawl features beautiful layers of lace, providing an overall impression reminiscent of a fancy layered cake, making it not only a project but a stunning piece of wearable art.

For the best results, I highly recommend selecting a yarn that's tonal rather than variegated or heavily speckled. A simpler colorway will beautifully highlight the intricate lace details, showcasing all the hard work you've put into defining each stitch (trust me, I've learned this valuable lesson through experience). Choosing the right yarn is crucial for displaying the full beauty of your lace work.

Once completed, the finished shawl should measure approximately 72” along the longest edge after blocking. However, feel free to add more layers of lace if you have extra yarn on hand; the more, the merrier! For my shawl, I used nearly 2 full skeins of Hedgehog Fibres skinny singles, which delivered a stunning finish.

This beginner-friendly lace shawl pattern is not only a great introduction to lace knitting but also a wonderful way to expand your knitting skills. Dive into this project and enjoy creating a lovely, versatile shawl that you can wear for any occasion or gift to a loved one. Get started on your lace knitting journey today!
