Sweetgrass Shawl | Easy Triangle Lace Shawl
Design Information
Sweetgrass is a shallow triangle shawl knit mostly in Stockinette stitch with a simple eyelet border and knitted-on lace edging. The stitch pattern of the lace edging is easy to remember, and instructions are provided in both charted and written formats. Sweetgrass is a great pattern for any shawl knitter, from the beginner to the adventurous.
The yardage requirements make this a great one-skein project. With the right yarn choice, this shawl can take you from summer into fall, and it will pair well with most outfits.
