This large semi-circular shawl is knitted top-down with a collage of lace stitches and simple textures. Gather three colors of fingering weight yarn in a colorful fade or gradient from light to dark, then add three coordinating colors of lace weight mohair from light to dark. The three mohair accents are held together with the lightest color at the beginning of the shawl in a beautiful dip stitch pattern. The mohair colors are also used on their own with decorative eyelets and stripes in the border. This subtle mohair frost gives a beautiful halo and silky sheen to the fabric. The lace patterns feature delightful details like twisted ribbing, cables, and bold geometric formations. A chevron border frames the shawl for a dramatic final edge.

Finished Measurements: 86″ / 218cm wingspan length, 31″ / 79cm from CO to BO edge measured along the center of the shawl. Measurements taken after blocking.
