SHOSHIE is a shawlette/scarf finally available to the general public! This wonderful design is worked as one piece across. It is written out completely in line by line text and also has 2 portions that are charted for those of you that prefer chart reading. There is no picking up of stitches or seaming!
Also included is an optional section if you prefer a longer center lace portion (the purple Shoshie pictures has a longer center lace portion) Sharon’s On-line free tutorial video links are here to help if need be.
Loads of detail in the instruction and free on-line video’s make this 22 page pattern easily accomplished even for first time lace and bead knitters.
This was the pattern form She-Knits Mystery Mini-Mystery. Please take a minute to look at all the beautiful finished Shoshies
…WARNING….you may be hypnotized by their beauty and before you know it will feel compelled to get one going on your needles!
