In this class, knitwear designer Gudrun shares one of her patterns for making a beautiful Shetland-inspired lace shawl. Worked up in lace-weight yarn, this shawl has a slightly unusual construction--the decorative edge is worked as a strip in an eyelet lace pattern, and then the stitches are picked up along one long edge and worked in garter stitch.

This is a terrific first lace project because after establishing the pattern, you essentially keep working longer versions of the same two rows. Jill leads you through a practice swatch so you get the hang of the pattern before launching into the final project. And she gives you a trick in case you get lost counting the rows. This lacy "little something" could easily grow into a giant cozy shawl if you're feeling ambitious!
