All-Over Lace Faroese Shawl

Pattern #A16. Just one of the many popular HeartStrings Faroese shaped shawls, this time in an allover stockinette stitch lace version. The pattern begins with the center back neckband, then proceeds from the neck down in charming lace silhouetted heart motifs.

Knitting starts with just a few stitches at the top and works downward. Easily adjusts to other sizes by knitting to length desired, and other weights of yarn with corresponding adjustment in needle size and yardage.
