Springtime Shawl

Introducing a lightweight, lacy shawl, expertly designed to be knit in the round, perfect for adding a touch of warmth, style, and sophistication to your wardrobe! Crafted from a delightful 85% cotton and 15% alpaca blend, this shawl is not only beautiful but also comfy to wear. Utilizing US#5 needles, this project knits up quickly as you work around in the round, with each quadrant mirroring the previous one for a seamless finish. The design begins at the neck, gracefully increasing until reaching the elegant border, where a final set of increases allows for the creation of a stunning classic lace-stitch border.

Featuring the popular “feather and fan” lace border, this shawl is not only visually striking but also an easy pattern to follow. The lace stitch is a simple multiple of 13 stitches, making it easy to memorize for knitters of all levels. The sample shown utilized two skeins (approximately 840 yards) of Illimani Yarn’s Sabri but feel free to explore other fingering weight yarns, especially cotton-blends, to suit your personal style and desired texture.

For your convenience, directions for this delightful shawl pattern are meticulously charted and also provided in written form, round by round, ensuring that you can easily follow along, no matter your preference. Dive into this charming project and experience the joy of creating a beautiful shawl that’s perfect for any occasion!
