Three for the price of one! The Aethyrium Lace Shawls include 3 different sizes of triangle shawl.

Diamonds merge into leaves in this ethereal triangle shawl that works up quickly on size 8 needles. Begin at the bottom with 3 stitches and end with either about 220 stitches for the medium shawl, or a little over 300 for the larger version. Three versions are provided: The medium shawl pictured, a larger version, and a simpler version that can be any size.

Shown in worsted weight, but equally gorgeous in lace, fingering, dk, or sport. Sizes and yardage will vary based on your gauge and yarn. We provide some possible sizes and yarn estimates, based on a variety of gauges.

For more experienced knitters, and advanced beginners looking to try knitting lace, this true knitted lace shawl includes twisted stitches, yarn overs, and directional decreases on both the knit and purl sides of the fabric. The base diamond pattern is a repeat of 10 rows and 22 sts,

This is a great first true lace project, as it is worked on larger needles, begins with only a few stitches, and requires only 100 to 140 rows to complete.

We include our SWAG chart for yarn substitution. (See photos) It tells you the yarn amounts and finished measurements for 11 different gauges and two different sizes of shawl.
