From the description: This Pi shawl was designed as a gift for a special young lady. Although it was originally knitted with hand-dyed merino laceweight yarn, any hand-painted yarn will yield beautiful results. The lace pattern includes diamonds (a girl’s best friend), bows (as you’d wrap a present) and hearts (because I love her) and will make a very special shawl for someone you love. It would make a lovely baby gift as it will last a lifetime.

Tension: Not critical, but knitters should resist the temptation to use a needle much smaller than 3.75 mm with a laceweight yarn. It’s better for lace to be looser rather than tighter - otherwise the shawl may rip using blocking.
