Talise is a top-down, crescent-shaped lace shawl with a wide mesh lace border that cascades into elegant curls. The name Talise is of Native American origin and means beautiful waters. The design inspiration for this shawl comes from my memories of fishing with my dad on the Potomac River in Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia, when I was a teenager. The various motifs in the design evoke water, rocks, boulders and arrowheads.

Talise starts at the center back of the neck and is worked down to the bottom edge. A long garter tab at the beginning of the shawl helps to alleviate the hump that sometimes occurs with this type of crescent shaping. Both the body and border lengths may be customized—full instructions are provided, including how to calculate yardage and stitch counts for any size.

While dimensions and yardage are provided for fingering or sock weight, Talise could also be worked in any weight you choose. Solid or tonal yarn is recommended for this design. 

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