Introducing the Macclesfield Shawl knitting pattern, a captivating homage to the rich textile history of Macclesfield, the town in Cheshire, UK.

Worked in the classic feather-and-fan stitch pattern, this stash-buster, four-colored shawl embodies the timeless beauty of lace knitting. With its triangular shape and graceful waves, it drapes effortlessly around the shoulders, adding a touch of sophistication to any ensemble.

From rich jewel tones to subtle neutrals, each stripe of the shawl tells a story, weaving together the past and present in a stunning display of color and texture.

The stitch pattern is charted and written.
