Windswept Windswept
from Fiddlesticks Knitting

Light and airy as milkweed and thistledown, this shawl in Shetland lace evokes a feeling of being swept away by a breath of wind.

The shawl begins in the centre and is worked outwards in rounds. The lace patterning is worked on the front side, with increases creating sweeping curves in various Shetland lace motifs. A garter stitch edging is knit sideways and attached to the live stitches of the shawl and bound off as you go. There is lace shaping on every round. Sample is shown in Antique Gold.
