Fine Carnivale Knit Lace Shawl Free Pattern

Fine Carnivale Knit Lace Shawl Free Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl

This is a spectacular use of colorwork and lace in a knit shawl. In one color, you can make this gorgeous shawl with one ball of Be So Fine Yarn, or use a TRIO of TIDBITS to make it in three colors for extra fun! This bottom up construction half-circle shawl moves quickly with easy lace and the shawl is fringed with beautiful crescent motifs.

What you will need:

1 ball of Be So Fine Yarn
or
3 TIDBITS of Be So Fine Yarn
shown in Lilac Memories (a), Crushed Berries (b) and Stormy Sea (c)
US5 (3.75mm) knitting needles
US7 (4.5mm) cricular knitting needles, 24”+
