I love pretty lacy shawls, but I also love simplicity, this shawl combines the two; simple lace that is easy to tackle which results in a wonderful shawl. But the best thing about this pattern is it’s multiplicity, there are two different shapes to chose from and two different styles and you can knit it in any weight yarn.

The pattern includes instructions to knit either a triangular or squared crescent shape shawl, either all-over lace or with just a lace border. Both shapes of shawl can be made to any size.

The lace sections are charted only.

Materials:
You will need a minimum of 280yds / 229m for a small triangular shawl and 400yds / 366m for a small squared crescent.

All over lace crescent sample used 426yds of laceweight yarn
Lace edged triangle sample used 348yds of bulky yarn.

4 stitch markers for triangular, 6 for squared crescent
