Notes From the Designer:
•My inspiration in designing this shawl, was to create something light and airy, but not too difficult. I chose two lace weight yarns in colors that I thought would work well together and keep the light appearance that I was striving for. The design would work just as well, although with a completely different effect, in 2 dark colored yarns.
•This shawl consists primarily of 2 repeating, very easy sections. For one section, you hold the yarn single and use a smaller needle. For the next section, you hold the yarn double (2 colors together) and use a larger needle!
•There is no “right” side to this shawl, as it is completely reversible. Two simple stitch patterns are used which are both worked identically on the odd and even rows. An advanced beginner that can maintain consistent tension in knits and purls, who is also willing to try a “yarn over, purl 2 together” simple lace pattern, could easily complete this shawl.
•Don’t be overwhelmed by the size of this shawl. It is extremely easy to customize this design to create a scarf or shawl of almost any size that you choose. You may also use an alternate weight yarn. However, you will need to experiment with different needle sizes than what is called for, in order to produce a fabric that you are happy with.
