Lotus Blossom Shawl

Redesigned to work with either a DK-weight or laceweight yarn, the Lotus Blossom Shawl uses two traditional Shetland lace knitting patterns, Razor Shell and Madeira Wave, which together create the suggestion of graceful lotus blossoms on long stems.

The shawl is worked in stocking stitch by casting on three stitches at the middle top and then increasing down the centre and sides to create a triangular shape. At the bottom edge, bobbles are worked as the stitches are bound off. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Advanced Beginner or Intermediate lace knitters.
