• Product description

  Inspired by utilitarian working shawls, this large heirloom piece features a center-out construction and an intricate lace motif framing the simple, geometric center. Worked in a lofty fingering weight wool, it creates a warm and cozy fabric that invites snuggling up under. Use it as a dramatic wardrobe accessory, a special heirloom baby shawl, or even as a lightweight throw in your living space — versatility is one of the hallmarks of this design.

  Designer: Leila Raven

  Collection: Loft Launch

  CONSTRUCTION

  • The center portion of this square shawl is worked in the round from the center out, beginning with 8 stitches.
  • After the completion of Chart C (Knitted Lace Frame), you will no longer work in the round. The shawl will be finished by attaching a traditional Knitted-On Edging (Chart D) in place of a standard bind off.

  
  

  GAUGE

  • 16 stitches & 30 rounds = 4″ in circular Stockinette Stitch; relaxed after light lace-blocking

  
  

  Note: This fabric is lightly lace-blocked, just enough to open up the motifs (without stretching them tightly), in order to maintain a fuller-bodied fabric in the finished piece

  
  

  NEEDLES

  • One 32″ circular needle in size needed to obtain gauge
  • One set of DPNs in same size as Gauge Needle for working beginning of shawl and knitted-on edging
  • Suggested Size: US 5 (3¾ mm)

  
  

  FINISHED DIMENSIONS

  • 53” x 53” square; relaxed after blocking (see blocking note above)

  
  

  Please note: the stitch patterns in this garment are charted only.

  16-stitch bracket on Chart C was shifted one space to the LEFT. Previous placement affected one row of the chart.

  Chart C, Row 27: The first symbol should be Yarn Over (not a plain knit stitch).
