Diamonds peppered with lace give the effect of cut crystal. This is the perfect shawl for an elegant evening out, yet will still make you feel glamorous paired with a summery sundress, or a casual pair of jeans and your favourite t-shirt.
The Beaconsfield shawl is a wide rectangular wrap in three sizes, worked flat from the short end. The shawl begins and ends with several repeats of Horseshoe Lace pattern, transitioning to English Crystal Lace in the middle for the majority of the shawl.
Three sizes are offered to provide a comfortable wrap for people with chest measurements ranging from 30 to 65" (76 to 158 cm).
This knitting pattern includes written directions, charts and written charted instructions, step by step instructions for stretchy Old Norwegian Cast On, and schematic with measurements.
Substitution Notes: This shawl is a great candidate for most laceweight yarns. The original is in alpaca, but wool blends and kid mohair would also be wonderful.
Techniques: Yarnovers, decreases, slipped stitch selvedges, working lace from chart or written instructions, stretchy cast on and bind off methods (included in instructions).
