Foggy Dew

Foggy Dew is a asymmetrical, triangular shawl that features an elegant textured panel of fern lace and rope cables flanked by cute clover eyelets. The overall design of the shawl is formed by combinations of simple stitches such as knits, purls, yarn overs, decreases and small cables, but the variety of these stitches as you work across the rows will be sure to keep your interest. The DK-weight yarn used to make this lace shawl really pops out the texture of the various design elements, providing visual interest however the shawl is draped.

The pattern is filled with excellent tips to help you achieve a beautifully knitted and blocked Foggy Dew. For example, if you’ve ever noticed that your knit stitches differ in size when transitioning between knit and purl stitches when working cable or knit/purl stitch patterns, I've included some fantastic solutions that will improve your knitting tension dramatically. Video links are included that show why this happens and how to fix it. There are also helpful hints about working neat slipped edges, and blocking tips.

While dimensions and yardage are provided for DK weight, Foggy Dew could effectively be worked in worsted, sport or even fingering weight as well. A solid or tonal yarn is highly recommended to showcase the intricacy of the panel design. 

The Foggy Dew pattern includes both charts and full written instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
