Half Circle Chapel Veil
PLEASE NOTE! The chart shown on the webpage is inaccurate. The downloaded file is correct. On line 33 you must k 2 tog 5 times instead of 4, and ssk 5 times instead of four. I’m sorry, I thought I fixed this but I missed that image!
Yarn: The yarn was spun from 2.5 ozs. of 50% wool, 50% angora blended roving. It was spun to a fingering weight of about 15 wraps per inch, and I used about 150 yards for this small veil. Any weight could be used, with the right needle size to get a nice drapey fabric.
From the pattern:
“It is also quite lovely to wear as a little shawlette, scarf, or as a pretty head cover to keep ears toasty. It is not wind resistant because of the lacy texture, but will still lend some warmth to chilly ears on cool days. Personally, I think it would make a fabulous sleeve for a lace sweater or shrug, hmm… maybe next issue.”
There is no gauge given, just match the needle size with the yarn. This is meant for handspun yarn, but you could use commercial yarn also.
