around the beloved feather-and-fan pattern; and of
course, two perennial favorites: a popular triangular
lace shawl and an easy rectangular lace scarf. New to
this collection is a stunning lace blouse, a lace-topped
Henley-style pullover, and a pretty lace and garterstitch shrug.

Sophia Shrug
design by Betty Monroe

Originally published in Interweave Knits Gifts, 2010

Finished Size 26 (2712, 2834)" wide from cuff to cuff

and 2814 (2912, 3312)" long from top of collar to bottom

NOTES

is worked from side to side in one piece.

TThishereshrug
are
three
in each row of knitting:
alace section thatsections
forms the collar, a garter-stitch
section that forms the upper body, and another
lace section that forms the lower body. The shrug is
folded in half along the garter-stitch section, and the
short edges of each lace section are seamed.
In the crossed-stitch rows, the three right stitches
of the six-stitch group are pulled over the three left
stitches of the group. This effectively pulls the three
left stitches through the center of the three right
stitches. When pulling the stitches over and then
knitting them, make sure to keep the stitches in
order.

SHRUG

A simple rectangle, cleverly bordered and seamed,

turns into the versatile Sophia Shrug. A drapey
elongated-stitch pattern folds easily into a shawl
collar or stands up for warmth; while garter stitch
turned on its side flows easily across shoulders,
stretches to pin closed, and snaps back for
wearing open.

Glossary), CO 108 (112, 128) sts. Do not join.

Betty Monroe taught herself to knit when she was six years old. She picked
up the needles off and on but only fell in love with knitting when she
knitted her very first sweaterfrom a Kaffe Fassett pattern. She lives in
Georgia.

Icelandic Lace Shawl

design by Sigrdur Halldrsdttir
adapted by Carol Rasmussen Noble

Originally published Piecework Magazine, July/August 1996

Called the Thrds shawl, the original of this traditional Icelandic shawl is part of the Icelandic Craft Councils
collection of textiles. It is thought to have been knitted by Thrds Egilsdttir, a resident of a small fishing
village on the west coast of Iceland well known for her craftsmanship with handspun yarns. She used very fine
thel (the fine, soft undercoat of the Icelandic sheep) in natural white and shades of moraut (soft brown). This
pattern, which captures the spirit of the original, was designed by Icelandic knitter Sigrdur Halldrsdttir
and translated and adapted for PieceWork readers by Carol Noble.
Finished Size: The finished shawl measures
76 inches (193 cm) across the shoulder edge
and 37 inches (94 cm) deep at the center back.

Yarn: Fingering-weight wool yarn. Shown in

Jaggerspun Maine Line 2/8 (100% wool; 22 40
yd [2048 m]/16 oz [454 g]): natural (white), 3
oz; graphite (dark gray) and arrowhead (graybeige), 1 oz each; suede (medium brown) and
sable (dark brown), oz each; pewter (light
gray), shale (medium gray), sand (beige), and
black, oz each. Yarn available in smaller than
1-lb units from Halcyon Yarn (www.halcyonyarn.
com) and other suppliers.

Needles: Size 4 (3.5 mm): 32-inch (81.2-cm)

circular knitting needle.

Notions: Steel crochet hook, size B/2 (2.5

mm); markers (optional).

NOTES
Carols shawl is knitted in a fingering-weight yarn
in natural and several dyed shades. For a more
traditional shawl, you may wish to use Icelandic
lace-weight yarn spun from Icelandic wool.
Use stitch markers between pattern repeats and
at center back if desired.
Carol originally suggested the two-needle chain

Knitting Lace: 10 Free Knitted Lace Patterns

cast-on or the thumb cast-on, which are the equivalent of the

Long Tail or Continental cast-on.
The directions occasionally call for knitting a wrong-side row with
a new color which produces blips of the old color on the right
side of the fabric. This is a deliberate effect to minimize the
difference between the right and wrong sides of the shawl.
The charts show most of the right-side pattern rows. Please refer
to the row-by-row instructions for how to work wrong-side
rows, transitional rows between charts, and the repeated
section at the end of Chart D.
Charts B, D, and F show only the first half of right-side rows, with
arrows indicating the shawl center. Read each chart row from
right to left for the first half of the shawl, then read the chart
row backwards from left to right for the second half, reversing
the direction of the single decreases. In other words, for
the second half of the shawl, substitute k2tog for each ssk
symbol and vice versa. The k3tog double decreases are not
reversed, and are worked as k3tog throughout the entire row.
Chart B is worked on an even number of stitches with the center
of the shawl between the two center stitches on the needle.
For Chart B, work each row from right to left, then work the
entire row again reading from left to right as explained above.
This means you will work a k3tog both before and after the
center marker as you reverse the chart direction.
Charts D and F are worked on an odd number of stitches with
the center of the shawl positioned exactly on a single center
stitch. For these charts, the last stitch of each chart row is the
center stitch which is not repeated when you read the chart in
reverse. Work to the end of the chart row, work the last stitch
once, then begin reading the chart from left to right starting
with the second-to-last stitch of the row.
If youre still not certain how to reverse the patterns for halfcharts
B, D, and F, the written directions spell out exactly how to
work each row. Compare the row-by-row instructions with the
charts to understand the reversal better, or work these rows
from the text directions.
The original shawl was not finished along its top edge, but you
may choose to work the optional top border if desired.

edge can stretch to the correct blocked dimensions, but not so
many sts that the edge ruffles. Knit 1 wrong-side row. Change to
medium brown and knit 2 rows. Change to dark brown and knit
2 rows. Change to black and knit 1 row. Using black, bind off all
sts on next row as if to knit.

Finishing

Darn in the loose ends of yarn. Soak the shawl in cool water until
it is thoroughly wet. Squeeze gently, then roll the wet shawl
in towels to absorb the excess water. Lay the damp shawl on
dry bath towels spread on the carpet, bed, or other flat area.
Stretch the shawl to its final size. Pin in place, starting with the
center back; then pin the shoulder edge and the shorter edges.
Finally, pin each crocheted loop out to a point. When the shawl is
completely dry (this may take several days), remove the pins. Suppliers

Tailored Scallops
Cardigan
design by Pam Allen
Originally published Lace Style (Interweave, 2007)

A longtime fan of the traditional feather and fan

stitch pattern, Pam Allen worked it on a grand
scale for this classic jacket. The structure of this lace
patterngroups of yarnovers alternating with groups
of decreasescreates decorative scallops that are
preserved in the cast-on edges. To keep this project
simple, Pam added very little shaping (the roll-over
collar is simply an extension of the fronts) and worked
the sleeve increases in panels of stockinette stitch that
border the lace motif.
Finished Size:

33 (36, 39, 45, 48)" (84 [91.5,

99, 115.5, 123] cm) bust/chest circumference with center
front edges overlapping about 1" (2.5 cm). Sweater shown
measures 33" (84 cm).

Yarn: Chunky weight (CYCA #5 Bulky). Shown here:

Tahki Kerry (50% wool, 50% alpaca; 90 yd [82 m]/50 g):
#5009 green, 9 (10, 11, 12, 14) balls.
Needles: Body and sleevessize 10 (6.5 mm): straight.
Edgingsize 10 (6 mm): straight. Adjust needle size if
necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Carol Kaplan

Notions: Markers (m); stitch holders; tapestry needle.

Gauge: 14 stitches and 19 rows = 4" (10 cm) in
stockinette stitch with garter ridges using larger needles;
25 stitches (1 pattern repeat) = 6" (16 cm) and 19 rows =
4" (10 cm) in feather and fan pattern using larger needles,
after slightly stretching, blocking, steaming, and being
allowed to relax.

Skill Level: Intermediate.

Lace Fountain Hat

design by Katie Himmelberg

Originally published in Interweave Knits, Spring 2008

This hat was created for the Knits Spring 2008 staff project, where we were asked to design an item inspired
by a beloved movie.
The Fountain is a movie that's hard to describe and didn't get the greatest reviews, but I love it all the same.
I was just as engrossed by the stunning cinematography and special effects as I was with the storyline. So this
hat is a visual representation of what the movie looked like to me. The easy lace pattern forms a starburst
pattern that disintegrates into a field of dots--the three different pattern areas on the hat represent the three
eras of the love story in the movie.
I was absolutely enthralled by this yarn. The molten
honey gold shade, the smoothness of the merino;
ShiBui Sock is a wonderful lightweight yarn that
makes this hat perfect for a chilly day. It's also a nice
use for sock yarn, a plus for someone like me who
doesn't love to knit socks!
Finished Size: 20" band circumference; 23" circumference
at widest point.

Yarn: ShibuiKnits Sock (100% superwash merino; 191 yd

[175 m]/50 g): #S1395 honey, 2 skeins.

Needles: Size 4 (3.5 mm): 16" circular (cir). Adjust needle

size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions: Markers (m; one in a contrasting color); tapestry

needle.

Gauge: 25 sts and 33 rnds = 4" in St st in the rnd.

Skill Level: Intermediate.

Arrowhead Shawl
design by Pam Allen

Originally published in Interweave Knits, Summer 2006

There are few patterns more beloved in

knitting than the classic triangular lace
shawl. Beginning at the center with just a
few stitches, the shawl grows via paired
increases, adding motifs on each side as
the work progresses, a process that many
knitters find irresistible to watch!
Pam's shawl was her contribution to the
Knits Summer 2006 staff project, where
she chose a single stitch pattern and then
asked seven of us to design different items
using it. This beautifuland easy!shawl is
now a favorite with knitters everywhere.
Finished Size: About 40" wide across top edge
and 19" long from the center of the top edge to
bottom point, after blocking.

Yarn: Halcyon Yarn Gemstone Silk 2/5 (100%

silk; 260 yd [238 m]/100 g): #6 terra cotta, 1
skein.

Needles: Size 7 (4.5 mm): 24" circular (cir).

Notions: Markers (m); sharp-point sewing
needle.

Gauge: 18 sts and 21 rows = 4" in charted lace

pattern, after blocking.
Skill Level: Intermediate.

Knitting Lace: 10 Free Knitted Lace Patterns

NOTES
Shawl begins in the center of the long side at the top, and is
shaped by increasing one stitch on either side of center and
one stitch inside each 2-stitch garter stitch border every RS
row. The bind-off edge forms the two short sides of the shawl.
Use markers to set off the center stitch and the garter stitch
edges at each side as indicated by green lines on the charts.
You may also find it helpful to use markers to set off each full
pattern repeat as indicated by the red boxes on the charts.
When you have worked to the end of Chart 1, the number of
stitches will have increased enough to add 2 more repeats
of the main pattern on either side of the center stitch. For
example, the first time you repeat just Rows 920, there will
be enough stitches for 3 pattern repeats on each side of the
center stitch, the following time there will be enough stitches
for 5 pattern repeats on each side of center, and so on, until
there are 13 pattern repeats on each side of center the sixth
and last time you repeat just Rows 920.
You can increase the size of the shawl by adding more repeats of
Rows 920 before beginning the edging from Chart 2. Every
additional 12 rows will add about 1" to the height from center
of top edge to bottom of point, and about 5" to the total

wingspan across the top edge. Plan to purchase extra yarn

if making a larger shawl; the sample shown here used almost
exactly a whole skein of the suggested yarn.

Shawl

CO 7 sts. Work Rows 120 according to Chart 1, placing

markers (pm) as indicated by green lines on Row 1, and, if
desired, on either side of pattern repeats indicated by red
boxes on Row 9 (see Notes). Rep Rows 920 six more times,
pm between new patt reps as they become established, if
desired191 sts; 92 rows completed from Chart 1. Change
to Chart 2, and work Rows 18 once207 sts. BO all sts very
loosely on next WS row.

Finishing

With yarn threaded on a sewing needle, weave in ends by

piercing the strands of the shawl on the WS to better secure
the slippery silk tails. Pin shawl to finished measurements.
Steam gently without touching iron to shawl and let dry. -

into the ring: ch 3, htc, sl st between first and second htc of

last petal made, htc, ch 3, sl st into ring, (ch 3, 2htc, ch 3, sl
st into ring) 2 times for 3 petals of Flower 2. Rep Flower 2
seven times more.
Last flower: Rep first and second petal from Flower 2. Third
petal: ch 3, htc, sl st into third petal of first flower between
htcs; htc, ch 3, sl st into the beginning sc.
Embellishments: Add three-layer flower if desired near edge
of cuff.

Three-layer flower
The three-layer flower uses 15 yards of vicua yarn, three 3
mm gold-filled beads and five 5 mm gold-filled beads.
Use crochet hooks size C (2.75 mm) and size 0 (1.75 mm).
Step 1: With U.S. size 0 hook, ch 8, sl st into first ch to form
a ring. (1 sc, ch 3) 8 times into ring; join last st to first with
sl st.
Step 2: With U.S. size C (2.75 mm) hook work first petal (1
sc, ch 2, 3 htc, ch 2, 1 sc) into first ch-3 space, rep 7 times
more.
Step 3: With smaller hook, *ch 5 (working behind the petals
made on previous rnd), sc into the bar made by sc on first
rnd; rep from * around.
Step 4: Change to larger hook and work second rnd of (1 sc,
ch 2, 5 htc, ch 2, 1 sc) into each ch 5 loop behind work.

Step 5: Cont working petals as for step 3 and 4 but ch 7 for

loop in the back and do 7 htc in each petal. Join the last rnd
with sl st into first sc. More rnds of petals may be added by
adding 2 ch sts in the back loops and 2 htc in each petal on
each successive rnd.

Add beads
Thread three 3 mm gold-filled beads onto vicua yarn or
brown sewing thread; join them together in a circle by going
through the beads twice. Leave the ends of thread from each
circle of beads and use them to stitch down the circles later.
Rep using five 5 mm beads. Sew the smaller circle of beads into
the center of the flower with the larger circle of beads around
it. Sew flower onto glove near bottom edge.
Finish by weaving in all tails neatly on WS. -

Leaving a long tail (about 12" to 1" [1.3 to 2.5 cm] for each stitch to be cast
on), make a slipknot and place on right needle. Place thumb and index finger
of left hand between yarn ends so that working yarn is around index finger
and tail end is around thumb. Secure ends with your other fingers and hold
palm upwards, making a V of yarn (Figure 1). Bring needle up through loop
on thumb (Figure 2), grab first strand around index finger with needle, and

Short Rows: Wrapping a Stitch

Work to turn point, slip next stitch purlwise to right needle. Bring yarn to front (Figure 1). Slip same
stitch back to left needle (Figure 2). Turn work and bring yarn in position for next stitch, wrapping
the stitch as you do so. Note: Hide wraps in a knit stitch when right side of piece is worked in a
knit stitch. Leave wrap if the purl stitch shows on right side. Hide wraps as follows: Knit stitch: On
right side, work to just before wrapped stitch. Insert right needle from front, under the wrap from

Chain Edge Cast-On

Three-Needle Bind-Off
Place stitches to be joined onto two
separate needles. Hold them with right
sides of knitting facing together. Insert
a third needle into first stitch on each
of the other two needles and knit them
together as one stitch. *Knit next stitch
on each needle the same way. Pass first
stitch over second stitch. Repeat from
* until one stitch remains on third needle. Cut yarn and pull tail through last
stitch.

This method is worked with a crochet hook. It forms a tidy

chain along the edge.
Place a slipknot on a crochet hook. Hold the needle and
yarn in your left hand with the yarn under the needle.
*Place hook over needle, wrap yarn around hook, and pull
the loop through slipknot (Figure 1). Bring yarn to back
under needle, wrap yarn around hook, and pull it through
loop on hook (Figure 2). Repeat from * until there is one
less than the desired number of stitches. Bring the yarn to
the back and slip remaining loop from hook onto needle.

Glossary
Invisible Vertical Seam (Mattress Stitch)

(Also called ladder stitch.) With the right side of the knitting
facing you, use a threaded needle to pick up one bar between
the first two stitches on one piece (1), then the corresponding
bar plus the bar above it on the other piece (2). *Pick up the
next two bars on the first piece, then the next two bars on
the other (3). Repeat from * to the end of the seam, finishing
by picking up the last bar (or pair of bars) at the top of the
first piece. To reduce bulk, pick up the bars in the center of
the edge stitches instead of between the last two stitches. To
prevent a half-row displacement at the seam, be sure to start
the seam by picking up just one bar on the first side, then
alternate two bars on each side.
