Schachenmayr’s sportweight Highland Alpaca Fino never looked lovelier than in this lace shawl. Created by starting at the top center with a provisional cast on, the neckline expands into 3 triangles to form the shawl’s body. Another lace pattern is used as the border. Various yardages are suggested in case the knitter decides on a different size.

Finished dimensions:
Shawl bottom triangle edge measures approximately 76 cm (30 inches) wide, shawl from the center neckline to the bottom of the middle triangle measures approximately 44 cm (17.33 inches) not including the 6 cm (2.36 inches) border.
