This glorious lace shawl is worked from the back of the neck downward, accented with beads (or not, as you prefer). The increases form a central lace panel flanked by stockinette, and it finishes in a wide border. This is the perfect project for a very special skein of laceweight that you couldn’t resist.

The Knightsbridge shawl was originally published in Yarn In The City London Craft Guide.
