“Cobweb of life creates unknown patterns. Sometimes it forms droplets of tears, sometimes leaves with its own embellishments and flourish. It all depends on how you look…”

One ball of lightweight cobweb yarn is all you need for this delicate and enriched shawl. “Cobweb of Life” is a gorgeous rectangular shawl that has 3 different lace patterns.

First, you knit the lower edging of the shawl in an airy pattern embellished with nupp stitches. Then you proceed with the complimentary side edges framing the mesh of light Estonian lace (with nupps of course). Finally, the upper lace border gives this romantic beauty a charming finishing touch.

Treat yourself today and allow yourself to dive into a world of elegant Estonian lace. You’ll be addicted!

The pattern has both written instructions and charted instructions.
