The diamond shaped lace patterns in this shawl begin as a very open mesh and gradually change to a solid. It may be knit in a single color, but combining it with the color gradations in the Cheshire Cat mini skeins produce a pretty ombré effect.

Directions are for knitting either a scarf or shawl/wrap. Yardage for the shawl is 640 yds fingering weight and 380 yds for the scarf.

All lace patterns include a “resting” row - ie., no lace stitches on the wrong side, with the exception of the edge pattern. An alternative edge pattern is provided, if you desire a full “resting” row.

The larger needle is used for casting on and binding off. This is optional, but highly recommended in order to give plenty of stretch when blocking the points on the scarf/shawl.

General Lace Knitting notes are included at the end of the pattern. These are meant to help the less experienced lace knitter with ways to recognize the stitch patterns, minimize mistakes and find them earlier when they occur.
