Painted Ladies Shawl

This lovely lace shawl was inspired by the Painted Ladies of San Francisco—the beautiful and colorful Victorian row houses, each featuring its own elegant and decorative trim.

The design captures the charm and character of these iconic homes through a graceful shawl body accented with intricate Victorian-inspired lace borders. The shawl body is knit first, followed by the addition of the elegant borders that complete the design.

The borders may be knit at the same time as the shawl body, but this method is not recommended. Adding the borders separately allows the lace details to shine and makes the construction more enjoyable.

The pattern is fully charted and provides a rewarding project for knitters who appreciate classic lace designs and architectural inspiration.
