Rosa Shawl Pattern




**NOTE: There is a slight error in the pattern chart. The last stitch of row 23 and row 51 should be regular knit stitches, NOT k2tog. Thanks to Daryl for finding the mistake!**

As promised...and with sincere apologies for the delay. Here is the pattern for the Rosa Shawl, pictured above. The pattern may be purchased for $6.50 via PayPal only (to purchase, click on the "buy now" button above), and downloads as a .pdf file with four pages, including pattern instructions, chart, and photos. Please note, as always, the chart rows are not also written out in text - they appear in chart form only.

This pattern is suitable for beginning lace knitters who are comfortable reading simple lace charts. It uses the following techniques: knit, purl, knit through the back loop, yarn over, knit two together, and slip slip knit. Instructions are also provided for set up, finishing, and twisted cord fringe. You will need approximately 1000 yds of any laceweight yarn (shawl shown above is knitted in the recommended yarn, Kaalund Enchante - if using Enchante, you will need three balls of this yarn total), and US size 2 circular needles, 24" or longer. Finished dimensions are approximately 18" W x 83" L, after blocking. Please leave any questions in the comments section for this post and I will try to get back to you or amend information as possible.

Enjoy, and thanks! :)
