This charming Shetland shawl will look beautiful when wrapped around your little royal baby! The pattern is fairly easy to work even when using lace yarn. It has a classic elegance in its simple square center, bordered with a fern stitch pattern which also carries the garter stitch look. And it is finally finished off with a garter stitch edging which combines the ease of garter stitch knitting with the motifs of ferns and diamonds. Knit this delicate shawl for your baby in lace yarn or use a heavier yarn such as fingering to make a graceful shawl for yourself!
