This elegant shawl was designed to showcase the beautiful Piibelehekiri lehel or Lily on a Leaf pattern found in the online exhibition of Estonian Lace held at the Lacis Museum. In my shawl it is surrounded by edges of roundels and a border at either end which are both inspired by and adapted from Nancy Bush’s Knitted Lace of Estonia.

The shawl is knitted from end to end, with the second border knitted separately and grafted onto the main shawl. The measurements of the blocked shawl are 40cm x 165cm.
