There are two things that I do not really enjoy in lace knitting: sewing on a lace edge and casting off a million stitches at the bottom of a triangular shawl. StellaLuna was designed in response to those feelings. The knitting starts at the bottom of the shawl and the piece decreases as it goes. Yes, it is true that you will have to cast on a million stitches (249 to be precise), but at the end you knit 3 together and you are done! The shawl is ready for blocking!

The design is based on a border pattern from “Knitted Lace of Estonia” by Nancy Bush (Thank You!)
