This graceful shawl features the beautiful beech leaf lace pattern and is designed for two weights of yarn, a fingering or laceweight.

Stitches are cast on for the bottom edge and rows become shorter as decreases at the centre panel and side edges create a triangular shape. Lace shaping is on one side only, except for lines of faggotting. At the end, stitches are picked up around all edges and a simple picot-point lace edging is worked.

Recommended for Intermediate to Advanced knitters.

Finished sizes:
Fingering: 72 inches across top and 33 inches deep
Laceweight: 80 inches across top and 39 inches deep

The shawl can be knitted either with fingering weight or with laceweight yarn.
