Lexy Garter & Lace Shawl Knitting Pattern

The traditions of Shetland knitting are represented in Lexy’s garter-stitched fabric, construction and design. Lexy becomes an all-season shawl by using a wool/linen blend yarn as shown, or an all-wool yarn can be chosen for extra warmth. Three sections complete the triangular shawl: center, border and lace edging, worked in that order. Pattern requires the following skills: simple shaping using increases, working basic lace stitch patterns.
