Wilmington Shawl

Introducing an exquisite knitted-on lace border that beautifully encircles a central star stitch panel, resulting in a luxurious rectangular shawl. Originally released exclusively as part of a kit from Our Back 40, this stunning design is now available for individual purchase. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a statement piece that combines elegance with intricate craftsmanship.

To begin, the central star stitch panel is carefully worked flat. Following this, stitches are skillfully picked up around the entire outer edge, leading to the creation of a cozy garter stitch band that is intended to be knitted in the round. The charm of this shawl truly lies in the knitted-on picot lace border, which is crafted perpendicularly and seamlessly joined to the body of the shawl as you progress, ensuring a flawless finish.
