Holbrook is a top-down, semi-circular shawl with a beautiful knitted-on lace border. I just love the look of knitted-on borders—they add a touch of elegance and drama that is very intriguing. This border has lace patterning on both sides, but is easy to memorize and fun to knit.
The shawl body consists of three triangles: a larger triangle in the middle section composed of a lovely old lace pattern known as English Mesh Lace and side triangles that are knitted in classic stockinette for a stunning design contrast. As you wrap Holbrook around your shoulders, the stockinette stitching peeps through the lace sections, providing visual interest no matter how the shawl is worn.
This is an excellent pattern for those of you who are new to knitted-on borders or knitted lace with patterning on both sides, as the pattern includes clear instructions on how to work a knitted-on border. I think you may find that Holbrook is a lot easier to knit than it looks!
Holbrook is shown in fingering weight but may be worked in other weights as well. A solid or tonal yarn is highly recommended to showcase the intricacy of the border design. The size is easy to customize by working more/fewer repeats of the main 6-row body chart.
The Holbrook pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
