#306 Amethyst Shawl

At first glance, the intricate geometric lines of this stunning lace pattern resemble the exquisite cuts of a precious gemstone. As you knit multiple repeats, captivating bands of ribbon begin to emerge, elegantly zigzagging along the entire length of the shawl. This lace design is not only visually appealing but also a joy to work with, making it an ideal project for knitters who appreciate detailed craftsmanship.

You can choose from two beautiful options for this pattern: the wider, rectangular shawl version, as showcased, or a charming smaller scarf version that only requires one ball of yarn! No matter which option you select, each piece promises to be a striking accessory that showcases your knitting skills.

This lace pattern is perfectly suited for knitters with some lace experience, as it combines both a challenge and a rewarding outcome. The lace pattern is provided in both charted and written formats, giving you flexibility in how you prefer to follow along.

The samples featured are knitted in high-quality yarns: Granstudio DROPS Kid-Silk for the lilac shawl and Elann Silken Kydd for the vibrant red scarf. For best results, we recommend using other mohair-silk yarns that offer a soft, luxurious halo. It's important to choose yarns that work well on size 9 needles to achieve the desired lace-weight texture. If you're considering an alternative, we also show a beautiful version made with Pemboke Worsted (in green) for those who wish to experiment with merino wool as a substitute; in that case, please look for a suitable worsted-weight yarn.

This knitting pattern is not just a project; it's an opportunity to create a stunning piece of wearable art that you'll cherish or delight in gifting. Dive into the exquisite world of lace knitting with this versatile pattern today!
