Meet the Chandelic Shawl:

Glowing candle flames on a chilly evening as delicate shadows dance across the wall. A dimmed chandelier all swagged and glittering above a table full of friends. What images does Chandelic’s intricate lace pattern call to your mind? I fell in love the first time I saw it. I hope you do, too!

Squishy garter stitch meets elegant lace in this generously sized crescent shawl. Knit from the top center out, the shawl grows wider with every row, creating a dramatic flared shape that’s easy to wear. The pattern is designed to show off solid and tonal colorways beautifully, and the finished shawl is classic and timeless—just as at home with jeans as it is with a little black dress.

Lace is both written and charted, and Chandelic has been tech edited and test knit, so you can cast on with confidence.
