| Fiber Trends Charlotte's Easy Lace Shawl Knitting Pattern 102LC
Lily Chin design. Hands-down, one of the easiest lace shawls you will ever knit. Make it in any size. This shawl has the added advantage of growing in width faster than a standard triangle shawl.
Sizes and Yarn Requirements:
Use any yarn, any weight. You are not limited to only very fine laceweight yarns; even chunky mohair works well. Adjust needle size accordingly to match your yarn choice.
Lily's Shawl required 775 yards of an Icelandic laceweight knit on size 6 (4 mm) needles. It measures 37" deep by 75" wide. The background of the photo is a cotton shawl, enlarged to show stitch detail. It measures 42" deep by 86" wide, was knit on size 6 (4mm) needles and used 1000 yards of Cotton Fine from Brown Sheep Co. A very large (47" deep by 103" wide) shawl can be made on size 11 (8 mm) needles using 630 yards of mohair.
Needles:
Size according to your yarn. Aim for a very loose and lacy gauge, perhaps 4 needle sizes or more up from what the yarn may normally call for.
Gauge:
Approximately 18 sts = 4"in lace pattern, after blocking, on a size 6 (4.0 mm) needle. As noted above, this shawl may be worked at any gauge.
