The Black Dahlia
Discover the beauty of The Black Dahlia, a stunning crescent shawl that is elegantly crafted from the bottom up, culminating in a delicate lace collar—a unique feature rarely seen in shawl designs. This exquisite accessory is the perfect addition to your wardrobe as we approach the holiday season, making it an ideal gift for yourself or a loved one!
**Materials Needed:** - 1,100 grams skein of Wolle's Color Changing Cotton or 480 yards of fingering weight yarn - Size 8 (40") circular needle for the cast-on—using this larger needle is crucial to successfully block the intricate lace when your shawl is complete. - Size 6 (40") circular needle for working the main pattern. Please note that substituting a smaller needle will yield a smaller shawl, so choose wisely! - Plenty of markers to help keep track of your stitches and pattern sections!
The bottom portion of this shawl features an exquisite lace design, which is provided in both written and charted formats for easy comprehension. The remaining sections of the pattern are written only, ensuring clarity as you progress through your project.
**Shawl Dimensions:** - Top edge (which folds over to form the elegant collar): 36 inches - Lacy bottom edge: 54 inches - Center spine length: 17 inches
