Prelude for the lace shawl knitting pattern “Diamond Pathways”

“Diamond Pathways” is an exquisite lace shawl pattern for times when you need an escape or a distraction. Your shawl will be impeccable with the elegant flow and striking pattern whether you use “nupp” stitch or beads. A rare diamond on your pathway.

The shawl is rectangular and quite large (see the size below↓). Knitting instructions are divided into steps for easier following and you can choose between written instructions and charts. Now all you need is yarn, needles, and time.

Remember! You can knit anything two rows at a time. You’re absolutely worth it! ♥︎

The pattern has both written instructions and charted instructions.

YARN

150 g to 200 g (2460 to 3289 yds) 30/2 cobweb lace weight yarn from wool or merino (1500 m / 1640 yards per 100 grams)

You can also use an ordinary lace weight yarn, just make sure you’ll have enough of it or choose the yarn you can get more of.

NEEDLES 

3,5 mm / US 4 / UK 10 needles for casting on and binding off 
2,5 mm / US 0 / UK 13 needles for knitting

The shawl is knitted flat, but you can use circular needles if you feel it’s more comfortable.

200 cm / 79 inches in length
You can always knit your shawl longer – just repeat the middle pattern (there is an indication for that in the pattern).
