This lace is lovely to see and interesting enough for an intermediate lace knitter. The shawl is a half circle with a circular neck area instead of a straight neckline, so no bunching will happen when you wear it!

This shawl measures about 94 inches around the lower edge, and is about 18 inches deep.

Almost all of the main color is used if you are making the shawl all one color, and about 80% of the main color is needed if you add a complementary color at the neck area.

We love this make of yarn and try to support independent, hand dyed yarn companies, but any good laceweight will work for the pattern. Heavier yarn will make a bigger shawl.
