As delicious to the eyes as the festive East Indian delicacy is to the mouth, motifs on this tactile delight mimic the swirls of that fried confection. With a cushy, textured body and branching lace border, there’s plenty to savor about this delicious garment.

Sweet Jalebi is a rectangular wrap worked flat from short end to short end. The lace motif is worked on both right and wrong side rows, without the usual knit or purled row between pattern rows.

This pattern includes both written instructions and full charts.

The shawl in the Knit Picks photos was knit using the Palette colorway “Mineral Heather 25546”.
