This pattern book is available on etsy.com. This sweet little shawl has a rather unique “square back” shape. The neckline curves nicely to hug your shoulders and stay in place. The pattern is written for 64 pegs, but you may make this any size you like. The shape is particularly well suited for graduate dyed yarns that are done with matching ends – where the color repeats are 1 2 3 4 3 2 1. You may see these skeins sold for making matching pairs of socks, sometimes as two skeins, or one large skein. There is an option for adding beads to the center lace column.

Size: Sample blocked to 42 in. width across the bottom, 18 in. long from neck to bottom, and 32 in. long from shoulder to points.

Loom: 3/8 inch gauge loom with 64 pegs, but any gauge and number of pegs may be used.

Yarn: 440 yards fingering weight wool or wool blend that will block and hold a shape; for ¾ inch gauge looms, worsted weight yarn is recommended.

Notions:
Loom tool
Crochet hook
Embroidery needle
Blocking tools
One moveable marker
90 Beads – optional*
