Sagittaria Triangular Lace Shawl Pattern

August 11th, 2010 |

Author: Cathy

This is a beautiful lace shawl pattern suitable for an intermediate or advanced knitter. I love this one and am planning on knitting it as soon as I finish the lace scarf that is on my needles now.

I really like how open and dainty this shawl looks and the intricate arrow shaped edging. I have to find just the right yarn for this beauty. I am thinking another silk or maybe even cotton this time.
Materials
Yarn: the brown shawl is made of Novita Wool (100 % merino wool, 50 g = 135 m), approx. 160 g. The green shawl is made of approx. 150 grams of Drops Alpaca ( 100 % alpaca wool, 50 g = 180 m). You can knit the shawl from virtually any yarn: the thinner the yarn the lighter the shawl and the smaller the pattern.

Needles: Pick about two sizes (2 mm) bigger needles than recommended to the yarn. The size of the needles depends on how tight or loose you knit: my knitting style is quite average, and with the brown shawl I chose 5,5 mm needles when the recommendation is 3,5 mm.

Other equipment: 4 stitch markers, and a tapestry needle to weave in the yarn ends.

Finished Measurements
The size of the brown shawl is 200 cm x 90 cm, the green shawl is 200 cm x 100 cm. The size can be easily adjusted by knitting less or more of rows 1-12 of chart 2.
