The Stepping Stones Shawl is a beautiful lace patterned shawl that transitions from one lace to another seamlessly. The flowing design is like stepping stones through a river.

The striping used in this pattern is made by using 2 cakes of the same colorway of yarn at the same time, but starting at different colors, and alternating them every second row. This creates a cascading color effect, perfect for this pattern.

The shawl is purposely large. If you’d like a smaller or larger shawl, simply add/subtract repeats of the lace as you see fit.
Gauge is not super important on this project unless you have a very particular sized shawl in mind. Just note that if follow the directions as stated and you use a worsted weight yarn, your shawl will be larger and more plush. If you use a sport weight, it will be smaller (unless you add repeats) and much airier.

The sample is knit in Lion Brand Mandala yarn (Warlock), which is a weight 3 DK yarn. I used the majority of 2 cakes, about 1000 yards, but depending on your yarn, you might need a little more or a little less.

Hope you love this shawl as much as I do!

Thank you to my testers:
Kat, and Laura!
