This cluster lace shawl pattern features a lace cluster stitch that is more open than most. The lace feature is contained within the cluster stitch and the cluster stitch also features a twist stitch within the stitch-pattern, making it even more unusual and distinct.

This shawl features two distinct stitches both of which come to us from Japan. Both are interesting and fun to knit. One is a distinct chevron lace stitch, while the focal stitch is a very unique cluster stitch. The result of the above is a ‘rarely-seen’ stitch combination. Further, the two stitches make a lovely one-of-a-kind shawl. The stitches, although they are Japanese, are easily learned by Western knitters, especially those who love unusual stitches. All symbols have been “translated” to the ones that most Western knitters are used to seeing.

The pattern also contains instructions for an optional crocheted edging.

All stitches are charted only.

Skill Level: Intermediate (assuming a good working knowledge of lace knitting.)
Skill Level for the optional Edging: Intermediate (assuming a working knowledge of crocheting)

The shawl in the sample was made using Lorna’s Laces Sportmate yarn, in colorway Stardust.

The sample was expertly test knitted by Deb LeBlanc who can be contacted at: artiesgirl85 @yahoo.com.
