Lotus Blossom Shawl Lotus Blossom Shawl
from Fiddlesticks Knitting

Redesigned to work with either a DK-weight or laceweight yarn, the Lotus Blossom Shawl uses two traditional Shetland lace patterns, Razor Shell and Madeira Wave, which together create the suggestion of graceful lotus blossoms on long stems.

The shawl is worked in stocking stitch by casting on three stitches at the middle top and then increasing down the centre and sides to create a triangular shape. At the bottom edge, bobbles are worked as the stitches are bound off.
Samples shown: laceweight shawl in Lace Sensation, colour Lavender on the right; DK weight shawl in Silk Sensation, colour Iris on the left.
NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting Patterns use charts.
Recommended for Advanced Beginner or Intermediate lace knitters.
