The Shawl is knitted from one tip to the other to form a triangle. The way the lace section works is that once a certain point is reached it can then be repeated as many times as you want to form a larger or a smaller triangle. Therefore you can use any weight of yarn, including handspun (wouldn’t that be amazing!). I used beautiful Meadow yarn by the Fibre Co. it is a heavy lace weight or a light fingering as Ravelry states, which creates a beautifully light shawl and one skein is enough to make a nice size shawl too, perfect for spring.
The pattern is written with a chart given for the lace section.
