Lace Shawl Design: The Half Pi - Adventures in Lace by Dee O'Keefe. A comprehensive guide to designing your own lace shawls.

Lace Shawl Design: The Half Pi is a comprehensive 67-page guide that was written for the adventurous lace knitter who would like to learn how to design a beautiful half pi lace shawl. The process I’ll teach you is exactly how I go about designing my own shawls. To help you along the way, I’ve included multiple to-do lists; color-coded, fill-in-the-blank worksheets; appendices filled with charted examples; information about creating charts on a computer and from written instructions; and a list of recommended lace books and stitch dictionaries. Let's create together!

FEATURED PATTERN

Meet Shady Grove, a botanically inspired sideways shawl featuring a delicate lace border filled with graceful leaves—my favorite type of lace pattern. A fabulous one-skein wonder that you can weigh as you go to maximize the yardage of any sized skein without running out. “Shady Grove" is the name of a modal Appalachian folk song that originated in the early 20th century. Listen to a unique interpretation played on solo cello with vocals.
