Crystal Thistle Shawl

Inspired by the brilliance of American Brilliant Cut Glass, this elegant lace shawl reflects the sparkle and symmetry of finely cut crystal. The design features a striking 16-point hobstar at its center, surrounded by graceful oval medallions containing delicate thistle and diamond motifs.

The shawl is knit in the round from the center outward and finished with a graceful ogee lace border, creating a stunning circular design. Its generous size makes it equally beautiful as an elegant shawl or displayed as an heirloom lace tablecloth.

The pattern is fully charted, making it a rewarding project for experienced lace knitters who enjoy creating intricate heirloom lace.
