This shawl gets its name from the Starlight Lace stitch (from Barbara Walkers’ A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns) and the traditional Shetland lace patterns I used, including the Trellis Diamond and Small Trees patterns. It is triangular and is knit from the top down with increases on every right-side row, worked at the edges and each side of the center stitch. The two halves are mirror images of each other, since Starlight Lace is not symmetrical.

I made it with a hand spun lace yarn but I think it would work well for most lace to light fingering weight yarns.

Warning - the pattern has not been test knitted by anyone other than myself so there may be errors. Please let me know if you find any and I will post a corrected version. Thanks.
