Party Favor Shawl

The Party Favor shawl is an experiment with brushed merino yarn. It’s paired with two sock yarns (one in the same color and a second contrast color). The two sock yarns are used for the striped Feather & Fan sections while the brushed merino is used to add texture and interest to the shawl with a second simple lace stitch pattern. The two sections are repeated for the length of the shawl.

Construction: The shawl is knit lengthwise from one short edge to the other, alternating between the two different classic Shetland lace patterns.
