Mountain Mist Shawl Pattern

The name of this shawl was inspired by the original lace pattern, which evolves and changes in a subtle way throughout the design, reminding me of the way in which a mountain's features change as mist rises and recedes.  Suitable for knitters with some experience of lace, with optional beading, the skill level is classed as Intermediate.

The shawl is adjustable in size and is designed to be worked on a circular needle with a single 100g skein of laceweight or 4-ply/sock yarn.  Either version can be adjusted to make a larger shawl by repeating various sections of the pattern, which will of course require extra yarn (and beads, if used).

There are two options for allover beading.  The shawl can also be knitted without beads or beaded in selected sections only.

The sample shawls were worked as follows:

Laceweight version - 1 x 100g/800m skein Shetland Wool Lace in Lavender Bouquet using 3.75mm circular needles, plus 2,206 size 6 beads. Dimensions after blocking: 170cm wide by 52cm deep. The reduced beading version requires around 1,440 beads. To bead just the edging section takes around 700/400 beads.

4-ply version - 1 x 100g/400m skein Alpaca Silk Cashmere 4-ply in Apricot Smoothie using 4.00mm and 4.5mm circular needles, plus 1,189 size 6 Japanese seed beads (optional). Dimensions after blocking: 125cm wide by 45cm deep. The reduced beading version requires around 800 beads. Beading the edging only would require around 350/260 beads.

The pattern is presented both in chart form and as fully written instructions.
