Midlothian is a top-down triangular shawl featuring three classic, complementary lace patterns. I really enjoy designing—and knitting—lace shawls worked in the heavier yarn weights. All lace is good lace, of course, but something extra special happens to even the simplest of lace patterns when the texture of the decreases is enhanced by the thicker yarn. I also love how quickly I can knit up a heavier weight lace shawl, since thicker yarn equals bigger stitches equals fewer rows to the finish line!
With Midlothian, the changing lace patterns will keep you interested as you work your way through this delightful sampler of elegant lace. As a finishing touch, Midlothian is edged with pretty picots, echoing the little dots of the eyelet pattern along the bottom of the shawl. The special centered picot bind off aligns perfectly with both the adjacent lace pattern and the center spine stitch.
While dimensions and yardage are provided for DK weight, Midlothian could effectively be worked in other yarn weights. The size is easy to customize; full instructions are provided, including how to calculate stitch counts for any size.
The Midlothian pattern includes both charts and full written instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
