As a holiday gift, this pattern is free through the end of 2024.

This shawl was inspired by the legends of Tintagel Castle on the coast of Cornwall. It is a rectangular lace shawl with optional tassels along the short ends. Two lace patterns alternate between sections of stripes. Instructions are included to make the shawl longer, wider, or more narrow. This pattern works well with solids, gradients, tonals or lightly speckled yarns. While the sample was knit with fingering weight yarn, this pattern could also be worked in lace, sport, or light DK/worsted weight yarn. You will likely want to adjust the length and width if you use a lighter or heavier weight yarn. You will also need more yarn if you make it longer and/or wider.
