Lake Louise

This shawl was inspired by a winter trip to Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada a few years ago. The top-down triangle is worked in sportweight yarn for a large and cosy shawl that is perfect for winter strolls, whether on a frozen lake or on solid ground! Single and double yarnovers create tracks of large eyelets through the sweep of pure stockinette. This 8 row repeat lace pattern is fun to work, and the same stitch pattern is used for the both the coloumns and the border of the shawl. The Bluefaced Leicester used in the sample offers exquisite drape and sheen to the smooth stockinette bands and also shows off the detail of the lace, all without being too bulky. Choose a solid or semisolid colourway to let the lace shine.

A video tutorial on how to work the double yarnover stitch pattern used throughout the shawl is provided in the pattern.

A handy stitch count checklist is provided at the end of the pattern to help you keep track of your progress.
