Knit the Christelle shawl, showing off a few see through stripes and pretty lace. I’d love it if you added the pattern to your faves and I hope you’ll enjoy the knit

I knitted my Christelle shawl from a knit kit as shown here but whether you knit yours from a kit or the stash you have on hand, this is a great knit.

Knitted top down in a crescent shape it shows off two similar, yet slightly different lace patterns which get “interrupted in a good way“ by garter stitch sections done with a lace yarn with colorful bits and pieces, lending fabulous textures and peekaboo see through parts. A nice touch….

The pattern is fully written, includes two lace charts and a how to video link.
The blocked shawl measures 79” along the bottom border and 17” in middle height.
