Glenallen is a contemporary, top-down triangular lace shawl. I will admit that I’ve always been a bit obsessed with the 1920s—in particular the Art Deco design that began to flourish in the decade. When I first saw the pattern for the body of this shawl in a stitch dictionary, I knew I had to incorporate it into a shawl design. It reminded me of the interlocking mosaic marble floor tiles that one might find in the lobby of an elegant hotel circa 1925. After revising the pattern to make the diamonds different sizes to add visual interest, I added an intricate chevron border with various Art Deco motifs ending in scallops that represent the graceful archways indicative of the style—and Glenallen was born!
Glenallen is the dressy, big sister design to my Wilshire Shawl, which also uses Art Deco motifs and has a revised version of the more open mesh Glenallen border.
Lace weight yarn is highly recommended to showcase the delicacy of the lace patterns. The size of the shawl may be easily customized by working more or fewer chart repeats of the main body pattern.
Glenallen is offered as a chart-only pattern with large, easy-to-read charts and very detailed instructions on how to use them.
