CeCe is a large rectangle lace shawl, featuring what I initially found as ‘Cats Paws’ Shetland Lace stitch pattern, named so because the wrong side really does look like paw prints and its oh so cute… further research has led me to discover this shawl is actually featuring the stunning Crowns of Glory traditional Shetland Lace knitting stitch, and in fact the Cats Paws stitch whilst still Shetland, is entirely different (depending on the author of article!). The lace weight shawl is light as air and glorious to wear, either styled as a special shawl, or as a scarf. The fingering weight is much more substantial despite being so holey, and as only half the amount of pattern repeats as the lace version are worked.

Notes
Cece Shawl is a large rectangular lace shawl, with the middle section knit flat first, picking up the edge stitches the shawl is continued in the round. Mostly using the same stitch pattern, you should begin to remember it well. Do not forget, the way the stitch is worked will be different once you start in the round. The shawl finishes with interesting and open stitches, and a braided cast-off.
As the stitch pattern stitch counts change on almost every row you will not have the same stitches as cast on at all times. Placing a marker between every repeat will help you keep track.
