This lace shawl, worked as a Pi shawl from the center out, has the option of having sleeves or no sleeves. The body is worked in one color and the edging is worked in a contrasting color. As the edging is worked, the body stitches are bound off. To finish you will have only a few stitches to graft together as you desire. This is the final in a series of four, one for each season. Welcome to Winter!

Chart reading
Yarn overs

FINISHED SIZE
17" / 42.5cm between shoulders, 56" / 140cm in diameter
MATERIALS
Yarn
Lace weight yarn in two different colors. 1800 yds / 1700m of MC0 and 250 yds / 230m of CC
The model was made using Classic Elite Silky Alpaca for the body, 70% alpaca and 30% silk and Berroco Andean Mist in Cerro Bayo for the edging, 74% baby suri alpaca and 24% silk; both of which have been discontinued.
Needles
US size 4 / 3.5mm needles or size needed to obtain gauge.
You will need dpn 6” / 15cm long, set of 5, and circulars from 16” / 40cm - 40” / 100cm long.
Notions
Stitch markers, one that is different to mark the start of the round and about a dozen others or so to mark section repeats if desired.
70, 6/0 clear, silver lined, glass seed beads and a tool to place them.
Gauge
The best way to measure your gauge for this project is work rounds 1-28 of the shawl. Block the piece somewhat aggressively so that the lace opens up. Rounds 1-28 should measure about 4.5" / 11.25cm in diameter.
Work rounds 1-28, then place the stitches on a long piece of waste yarn and remove the needles. Block and let dry. If you are happy with the look of the yarn and needle combination and the diameter comes close to the above measurement, place the stitches back on the needles and continue. If you are not happy or the piece is too big or too small some changes will need to be made. Remove the waste yarn, rip out the knitting and gently steam the yarn to make it easier to knit with. Make the changes in the needle size needed to get a bigger or small piece and try again. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions, need help or other comments.
