Noël Shawl
Noël is a circular-shaped shawl worked flat in rows. It consists of 2 alternating stitch patterns - a picot lace, and a solid half-double crochet V section - that repeat in 5 sections. each section is increased at the beginning only to create a spiral look.
The design is finished with a delicate i-cord border.
Whenever I think of the festive season, I imagine all the pretty Christmas decorations, especially Christmas tree ornaments. Noël, which is the French word for Christmas, reminds me of that season.
This circular shape shawl features two repeating sections, a picot lace and a solid section imitating patterns that can be found on various Christmas baubles. By only increasing each section on one side, the shawl develops a spiral look which adds to the illusion of a sphere. The pattern offers two options to give the shawl a classy finish: a simple single crochet edge or a delicate 3 stitch I-cord border.
Worked in Pearlescent Fingering, Noël exhibits drape and sheen to make it the perfect accessory for an evening dress or the little something that will upgrade your everyday outfit.
