Suelilly Shawl

Discover the beauty of intricate lace patterns combined with captivating cables in this stunning knitting project. This pattern features a unique upper edge crafted from a basket weave variation, setting it apart from typical designs. The gentle arc shape is achieved through strategic increases and decreases every fourth row, creating a flattering silhouette for any wearer. The design includes a lovely mesh lace at the bottom, along with an optional lace diamond inset in the body to enhance its elegance.

All instructions for this pattern are provided in easy-to-follow charts, making it accessible for knitters who prefer visual guides. To create your masterpiece, you will need fingering weight yarn, with a total of 875 to 900 yards required. The designer used two skeins of Painted Desert yarn, which worked beautifully, employing one skein for shaping the initial section before reversing the shaping for the second skein—eliminating any guesswork and ensuring a perfect match.

For this knitting project, you'll need #4 (3.5 mm) knitting needles, a cable needle for intricate stitchwork, and four markers to keep track of your pattern. While this pattern is designed with fingering weight yarn in mind, feel free to experiment with different yarn weights and needle sizes. Just keep in mind that results may vary based on your chosen materials.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or looking to challenge yourself with new techniques, this pattern promises a rewarding and beautiful outcome.
