Simple Knit Lace Shawl

**Beginner Eyelet Lace Shawl Knitting Pattern** This super simple eyelet lace shawl knitting pattern is perfect for beginners looking to expand their skills. The finished dimensions of the shawl will be approximately 47 inches long and 10.5 inches wide at its widest point, making it an ideal accessory to wear year-round. To successfully complete this pattern, you should be familiar with key knitting techniques such as casting on, knit stitches, kfb (knit front and back), k2tog (knit two together), yo (yarn over), and casting off. **Gauge Information:** The gauge for this shawl is achieved using garter stitch, with a measurement of 20 stitches by 38 rows equaling 10cm/4 inches. **Materials Needed:** To create this beautiful shawl, you will need: - **Knitting Needles**: 4.5mm - **Yarn**: 4ply acrylic yarn in two colors. I personally recommend using Stylecraft Special 4 ply in shades 1080 Pale Rose and 1005 Cream. You'll need approximately 65g or 274m of each color. - **Additional Supplies**: Scissors, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and a tape measure to check your progress. A removable stitch marker may also be helpful for certain sections, though it's optional. This pattern is designed to be beginner-friendly, providing a detailed, row-by-row guide that is easy to follow. If you choose to print the pattern, you'll find it convenient to mark which rows you have completed as you progress. Each row is clearly written out for you, and there's a running stitch count included, allowing you to quickly verify your work and spot any mistakes.
