Intermediate
Pattern Description:
Beginning with a simple lace pattern, and taking inspiration from Japanese temple architecture, Lotus is a richly textured half-octagon shawl that will stay comfortably on your shoulders. The shawl, knitted top-down, features sweeping lace 'petals', reverse stockinette panels and nupps which give textural interest, and a knit-as-you-go lace border along the whole neck edge.
Difficulty: Intermediate - you will need to know how to make nupps/bobbles, multiple increases, and a tab cast-on (including provisional cast-on and picking up stitches). The shawl has a crocheted bind-off (although alternate instructions for a knitted bind-off are given).
Materials: 600-700m of Alpacaware Super Fine (or other fingering-weight yarn).
US size 6 straight or circular needles
Crochet hook
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Blocking wires and pins
Gauge:
28 sts/30 rows per 10cm in stockinette gives a blocked shawl of approx 200cm tip-to-tip. A larger or smaller shawl can be made by adjusting gauge.
Suggested yarn:
700 meters of Fingering weight

I?ve been making things since I was tiny ? I remember sitting on the grass at infant school making ?fairy shoes? from leaves and bits of grass. I've been knitting and sewing since I was 7 ? which means I?ve been a knitter for more than 25 years! Since then I?ve branched out a bit, learning to cut patterns, handspin, crochet, loom-bead, make wire-wrapped jewellery, needle- and wet-felt, dye, origami and papercrafts, drawing and painting, to name but a few.
