Takayama Lace Shawl

Discover the elegance of Japanese lace knitting with our stunning knit wrap pattern, designed to create a beautiful shawl that showcases three intricate lace stitches. Each stitch is not only interesting to knit but also helps you develop your lace knitting skills. This pattern is perfect for knitters at an intermediate level who have a solid understanding of lace techniques and are eager to explore new challenges.

Our detailed pattern includes both charted and written instructions, ensuring that every knitter, regardless of their preferred method, can easily follow along. As an added bonus, we also provide instructions for an optional crocheted edging. Don’t worry if you prefer to skip the crochet; you can still enjoy a gorgeous shawl without needing any crochet hooks.

The featured shawl in our sample was crafted using Handmaiden’s luxurious Casbah yarn in the stunning colorway, Smoke. However, you can customize your project with any heavy fingering or sport weight yarn that allows you to achieve a gauge of 5 stitches per inch in the lace stitch when aggressively blocked. We recommend using size #5 (U.S.) (4.0mm) needles, although feel free to choose any needles that yield the same gauge for your unique shawl.

Elevate your knitting experience and create a statement piece that will not only keep you warm but also turn heads. This pattern not only enables you to hone your lace knitting techniques but also provides a chance to explore the beauty of Japanese lace designs. Perfect for intermediate knitters looking to expand their skills and crafting repertoire, this knit wrap pattern is a delightful addition to any knitter's collection.
