Shawl Joy is now available to order in print on my Etsy shop!

Love & Darkness is part of Shawl Joy the first book by Softsweater Knits. You can buy the eBook here on Ravelry or you can wait until Oct 5th for the hard copies of the book to be listed!

Love & Darkness is a very open and lacy top-down triangle shawl knit out of thicker yarn and needles so it works up quickly. The stitch pattern on this beautify is fun and engaging, while not actually being much of a challenge.

Needles:

5.5mm (US 9) circular needles in at least a 24” (60cm) cord. Or whichever size needles it takes to get gauge.

Notions:

Whichever tools you prefer to weave in your ends, and block your shawls.

13 stitches and 21 rows = 4” (10cm) square knit flat in lace pattern and blocked.

60” (152cm) measured along the wingspan. 34” (86cm) measured down the centre spine.
