A simple, elegant shawl worked flat using a simple lace pattern and seed stitch.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
90” long by 21.5” wide

GAUGE:
Gauge is not terribly important for this shawl. I suggest finding a yarn and needle combination that gives you a fabric with plenty of drape. A different in gauge will alter final measurements.

The version in the pattern photos is knit with The Fibre Co’s Cumbria Fingering in Buttermere (2), Eden Valley (2), and Scaffell Pike (2). I only used small portions of the second of each color so you could choose a fourth color and only purchase 4 skeins instead of 6. If you are interested in a hat or mitts knit with colors to match, you would certainly have plenty left over to do so.
