Spider Silk
by Holly Chayes
Inspired by the simple but elegant yet geometric shapes of a spider’s web, made up entirely of garter stitch and eyelet rows, this is an incredibly simple shawl to knit and would make a great first true lace weight project.
Knit in one piece from the top down, this shawl begins by casting on 11 stitches at the back of the neck and increasing 8 stitches every other row to shape this shawl into a square like shape. Finally, an eyelet-increase row is worked just before the bind off to ensure that a thorough blocking is possible.
Skills Used:
casting on & binding off
knitting
yarn over
k2tog
ssk
sl 2-k1-psso
weaving in ends
blocking lace
