You might remember this pattern book from last winter. Quite popular, especially after our friend Geri knit the sample. The book is back in stock now and we have lots of lovely fine yarns for shawl making, including of course Regia Lace.
The shawl sits on our hanger (or one's shoulders) beautifully, gravity alone, without a pin. Geri used Punta handpainted lace weight. Just enough weight and warmth for indoors.
I laid out the shawl so you can see how the crescent shape is made with yarnovers and decreasing. This time I used my flash so the hole pattern shows. My other favorite crescent shawl is Annis, available free from a past issue of Knitty, the online magazine. Annis has small bobble like stitches around the lace called nupps, though I have seen variations with beads in place of the nupps, very pretty either way.
