This shawl uses our traditional Estonian lace motif – water lily. A pretty, delicate shawl worked from the bottom up. This is a big and warm, lace knit to keep you warm during the cold winter months! I knitted this version in DK weight yarn and it worked up quickly.

Wrap your shoulders with this water lilies triangular shawl. It is worked from the bottom point to the top with lace patterning. It’s a perfect shawl for lace beginners. Easy to make and cozy to wear.

Gauge is not crucial for this design, but if your gauge differs from the pattern gauge, the dimensions of your shawl will be different as well. If you knit at a looser gauge, you may need more yarn. You can keep knitting until it has reached the size you want, or you run out of yarn, and you can knit it in any yarn weight you wish.
Easily adjusted in size.

This pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.
