The Cat's Meow Shawl

This is a listing for a pattern for a very "long wingspan" crescent shaped shawl that is comprised of two different lace stitches. The ornate lace edging stitch is added in the traditional Shetland manner, and gives a beautiful and graceful bottom to the shawlette. Nor is it nearly as difficult as it looks.  The shawl measures 70 inches at the widest points across the top and is 25 inches deep at the deepest point. It is made with a heavier of the fingering weight yarns, and is knit on size 7 (U.S.) needles.  The stitches are both charted and written out line by line. Skill Level: Intermediate (assuming a basic knowledge of lace knitting). The sample was expertly test knitted by Rachel McKinney who can be contacted at: 100creations @gmail.com. The sample was knitted using Shalimar's Breathless, in colorway, Concord Grape.
