FREE KNIT PATTERN : Fleece lace shawl: Knitty Winter 2011

WOW! Lovely Lace Shawl

Step out confidently into the frozen wastes of winter with this protective outer layer. The two shifting colorways of Zauberball’s lustrous felted yarn mirror nature’s random shadings, and the yarn itself provides a cosy, substantial warmth.

If you’ve tried some lace knitting and want to move on to something a bit more challenging, let this pattern introduce you to a 3 to 15 stitch increase and a quadruple decrease -- which act together to create the dramatic zig-zag markings.
Fleece is knit in one piece, and works up quite quickly on US 8/5mm needles.

The colors change randomly in the yarn - you can let the color shifts determine your transitions between two charts - one plain and one fancy.

It’s easy to make a wider stole or narrower scarf by adding or subtracting repeats.

This one is a must-try!
