Rosette Window - lace shawl

Description

I wanted to make a lace sampler, a study of how to knit mesh, how the density of the produced fabric can change dramatically. I thought of a rosette window, how a glazier would stain the glass in different colours and I decided to knit my rosette in different laces.

Rosette is a crescent-shaped shawl. It requires about 550 meters of lace or fingering weight yarn. Use needle size that gives you a nice lacy effect.

Blue shawl used all of 1 skein Wollmeise Pure in Kornblume 100% wool, 575 yd/526 m per 150g on 3.5 mm (US 4) needles. Blocked size is 130 x 45 cm (51 x 18 inches).
