FRUEHLING Shawl (English)

This pattern is in English.

This shawl design is inspired by the soft spring colors, lovely flowers and first buds on trees. Long, bright days, fresh air with flower scents and bird songs invite for a walk in nature after a long, cold winter. Even though spring brings the first warm days it can also be very cold and uncomfortable. A cozy and fluffy shawl with an interesting design thah is fun to knit is the perfect accessory for the changeable spring weather. The shawl is called Fruehling for Spring in German.

The shawl has crescent shape, beginning in the middle of the top and working increases at the edge stitches. Beginning with Garter Stitch gives time to become confident with the shawl shaping before the Lace section starts and brings a lot of change into the project. The alternation between Garter Stitch and Lace sections makes the pattern fun and very interesting to work. Edge stitches are knitted with Garter Stitch.

This knitting pattern contains a step by step instruction, a schematic, a chart for the Lace Stitch and a sketch for Garter Tab knitting to make it very easy to follow.
