This shawl was inspired by the architecture of the eiffel tower. It’s been years since I lived in France but the structure made an impression on me. You can see the criss-cross lattice lace bordered by rows of eyelets and separated with a panel of ridges meant to suggest the platform sections of the tower.

The inspiration to design a shawl came from the yarn I wanted to work with. The name of the colorway was “French Grey” and got me wishing I could make a shawl to wear out to dinner in France… more specifically, I’d like to wear it to Le Jules Verne, the restaurant in the Eiffel tower…

Errata:
In versions downloaded before July 24, 2012 feel free to make these alterations to pattern:

• all “K1, S1, Psso” can be changed to a simple “ssk” (in part 2 of pattern)

• Part 3 can end with a row 16: K2, P to last 2 st, K2 with Part 4 reading as follows:

Row 1: (rs) K2, K1, P1, rep from to last 2 st, K2
Row 2: K2, P to last 2 st, K2
Row 3: K
Row 4: K2, P to last 2 st, K2

Also added to the pattern after July 24th 2012 were blocked size of sample shawl: 20 x 50 inches after blocking.

Versions downloaded before March 5, 2013 please note:

In Part 7, row 3, there are an odd number of stitches. Row 3 should read:

Row 3: K2, yo, K2tog, rep from to last 3 st, then yo, K3

Thank you!
