Tamura Mock Cable Lace Shawl

Discover the joy of knitting with this stunning knit shawl pattern, inspired by traditional Japanese techniques. This unique design features two captivating stitches that incorporate a mock cable, a popular element in Japanese knitting that brings both texture and visual interest to your project. The shawl elegantly combines these stitches into a gorgeous accessory that is not only beautiful but also fun to knit. Made specifically for American knitters, this pattern is particularly well-suited for those who love knitting intricate lace designs.

This easy-to-follow pattern includes detailed instructions for adjusting and omitting the border stitch, allowing you to customize the shawl to your personal style and preferences. Additionally, if you wish to add an extra touch, you will find guidelines for an optional crocheted edging that enhances the overall look of your shawl. What’s more, all Japanese knitting symbols have been fully translated into familiar symbols, making it accessible for American and European knitters alike.

For the optimal finish, most heavier fingering weight yarns or sport weight yarns work beautifully for this shawl, achieving a gauge of 4 3/4 stitches per inch using size (U.S.) #6 (4.0mm) needles. If you choose to skip the optional crocheted edging, no crochet hooks are necessary, allowing you to focus purely on the knitting experience.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, this pattern will guide you step by step as you create a stunning knitted shawl that showcases Japanese knitting techniques. Start your next project today and elevate your knitting skills with this exquisite shawl pattern!
