Eilidh Shawl Kit - Shetland Cobweb Lace

Eilidh (pronounced Ay-lee) is a crescent-shaped shawl incorporating elements of Shetland lace patterns and others which have been inspired by these traditional designs. Worked from the top down on a garter-stitch base, there are options for beading, either all-over or for selected sections. Some areas of the design require patterning on both sides, which makes it a little more challenging than many of my designs, but the garter-stitch background makes this much easier than a stocking-stitch ground.  The skill level for this design is intermediate, for those with a reasonable level of experience in knitted lace, particularly for the cobweb and fine lace versions.

The finished measurements after blocking are 210cm (82 inches) wide by 50cm (20 inches) deep, and the original was worked on a 3.00mm circular needle.

The kit includes the printed pattern and a 50g (800m) skein of our hand-painted 100% Shetland Wool Cobweb Lace yarn, sufficient to make the Cobweb version of the shawl as written.

Beads are NOT included in the kit - we recommend size 8 Japanese seed beads.  This version of the design would require 1,930 beads.

The pattern is presented both in chart form and as fully written instructions, and also includes instructions for three other versions of the shawl in different yarn weights.
