Knitting pattern shawl, wrap, laceshawl Galadriel
Description
This wonderful shawl is dedicated to the most beautiful of all elves in Tolkiens „Lord Of The Rings“, Galadriel.
It is a rectangular shawl knit from a central provisional cast-on to both directions. The shawl is topped off with a wonderful leaf-edging. Little integrated beads at the ends are a special highlight.
Knit this amazing shawl in an ivory color and it can be the highlight to a wedding dress, or in an elegant black or burgundy the perfect eye-catching accessory to an evening dress. The used yarn is 3-ply, though lace-weight or fingering-weight yarns are also possible. I would advise against using anything thicker than 4-ply because it could destroy the light and lofty effect of the pattern
The finished size is approx. 185 x 60 cm, the yardage is approx 726 meters.
The pattern contains no complicated stitches, but I assume the basics of knitting techniques. You need a provisional cast-on, which is explained in the pattern. Inserting beads is explained as well.
Materials you need at home:
- approx 700 - 800 meters [765 - 874 yds] of 2 - 4ply yarn (it should not be thicker in order not to lose the light and lofty character of the shawl)
- beads (e.g. rocailles)
- a piece of very thin wire or dental floss
- waste yarn for the provisional cast-on
- knitting needles size 2,5 - 4 mm (US 2 - 6)
