This graceful shawl features the beautiful beech leaf lace pattern and is designed for two weights of yarn, a fingering or laceweight.
Stitches are cast on for the bottom edge and rows become shorter as decreases at the centre panel and side edges create a triangular shape. Lace shaping is on one side only, except for lines of faggotting. At the end, stitches are picked up around all edges and a simple picot-point lace edging is worked.

Addi Turbo Lace Knitting Circular Needles
These excellent needles from Addi Turbo offer you enhanced features for lace, sock, and texture knitting. They have sharp tips making it easier to work fine stitches; the needles are coated to give just the right amount of 'stick' so you have better control of lace stitches; and they have smooth joins between the needles and cord.
When selecting a needle size note that while the pattern has a suggested size (see above for Recommended needle size), you may need to use a different needle size in order to get gauge. If your experience with other Fiddlesticks patterns is that you have to go up or down a needle size to match gauge, then select the appropriate size.
