Sita's Special Shawl

This beautifully crafted shawl is a quick and delightful gift-knit that is perfect for the holiday season! Designed specifically as a Christmas gift for a dear friend, this stunning shawl features a rich deep red hue made from 100% heavy-worsted wool. The simple yet elegant lace-work design, combined with the ease of knitting on #13 needles, makes this shawl an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels.

Measuring approximately 24 by 72 inches, this generous shawl will keep your loved one cozy and warm throughout the entire Christmas season and into the deep, dark days of winter. The classic design not only adds beauty but also provides significant warmth, making it a perfect accessory for chilly evenings or festive gatherings.

The pattern is presented in both charted and written-out formats, allowing for easy navigation as you work through each row. You will need approximately 475 yards of yarn (the sample utilized one entire skein of Cascade’s Eco-+), so it’s a great stash-buster as well!

Here are some key details to keep in mind while creating your shawl:

• This shawl is knit in one continuous piece from one edge to the other, ensuring a seamless finish.
• A 5-stitch garter border adorns each edge, which is included in the directions below. Make sure to ALWAYS slip the FIRST stitch of each row to achieve a beautiful, chained edge.
• Using stitch markers will greatly assist you in keeping track of the lace repeats and the 5-stitch garter border on each edge.

Whether you're looking to make a heartfelt gift for a friend or simply want to pamper yourself, this shawl promises to be an enjoyable and rewarding knitting project. Download the pattern today and start creating a beautiful, cozy shawl that will be cherished for years to come!
