Under the Willow Tree

This exquisite heavy lace weight shawl pattern is crafted as a series of beautiful concentric circles, featuring three doubling rounds near the end of three out of the four tiers. The design begins with a circular cast-on technique utilizing a crochet hook along with the smallest double-pointed needles (DPNs) or a circular needle using the magic loop method. As the shawl grows in size, you will gradually transition to larger needles to enhance its elegance. Feel free to use your preferred circular cast-on method to start this enchanting project.

Choosing the right needle size is crucial to achieving your desired aesthetic. It is vital to base your selection on your personal gauge and the type of yarn you use. Opt for a needle size that results in a pleasingly open fabric, showcasing the intricate lace design in all its glory. This will ensure that your shawl not only looks stunning but also drapes beautifully.

If you decide to work with a heavier weight yarn, please note that you will require additional yardage to complete your project successfully. For those who are mindful of their yarn supply as they work through the pattern, it's important to remember that the final chart and bind-off (Chart D) will typically consume about 30% of your total yarn. Keeping track of your yardage will help you avoid any last-minute surprises, allowing you to create a stunning shawl that you can cherish for years to come.

This heavy lace weight shawl pattern combines intricate design elements with versatility, making it an excellent choice for knitters of all skill levels who want to create a breathtaking accessory. Whether worn casually or as an elegant wrap for special occasions, this shawl is sure to become a cherished part of your wardrobe.
