This shawl is inspired by the Japanese feather stitch in combination with the luxurious Purl Soho Linen Quill yarn, creating a feminine and delicate lace shawl. A meditative and relaxing knit with rhythmic repeats. Fingering weight yarn, US size 4 (3.5mm) 32-40" circular needle, stitch markers (if desired), blocking mats and pins are very helpful. Rectangular shape at 72"x22" after blocking, with scalloped edges all around. This pattern is in written and charted format for both knitting styles. Intermediate skill level, but a great way to challenge and engage advanced beginners and enjoyable for advanced knitters alike. Size can be adjusted with more/less repeats and more/less stitches at cast on.
