Chantilly Shawl

The Chantilly Shawl is a frothy confection of delicate lace knitting in garter and stocking stitch. Traditional patterns including some Shetland lace motifs, combine to create a rich, yet very feminine appearance.

The shawl is worked by casting on three stitches at the middle top, then increasing at the sides and middle to create a triangular shape. It is finished with a Point d’Esprit garter edging, worked sideways and attached to the live stitches of the shawl to bind it off. Some lace patterns have lace shaping on every row. Our sample shown in "Tea Rose." NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Experienced lace knitters.
