Item# 82

Wrap yourself like royalty in this majestic cape shawl. Beads embellish fleur de lis medallions against a background of trellis lace stitch.

Gemstone heart lace knitting needles in size 4/0 US (1.25 mm). 2 needles per set. Please make your selection of end cap in the drop-down list.

Not for knitters only. Use a gemstone lace needle as an old-fashioned hat pin!

This versatile accessory can be worn pulled down around the neck to lay on the shoulders as a dressy cowl neckline, or pulled up over the head as an elegant head covering.

Begin with a strip of pretty lace edging knit flat. Detailed instructions are included for beginning the strip with a provisional cast on and grafting for an invisible seam. Then pick up stitches and knit circularly in another lace stitch pattern. A decorative bind off completes the smoke ring knitted tube.

Here's a stitch that curves and meanders but still remains true...not unlike affairs of the heart.

A wonderfully simple and fun shawl that is shaped like a giant butterfly. Knitted in a 3-ball garter stitch technique from the top-down, this is a great pattern for using a mix of novelty and stash yarns.

Knit a bit of fictional history with this 39-star placemat size version of a red, white and blue flag. The lacy feather and fan stripes symbolize the flag waving in the breeze. The 5-pointed stars are created with a nifty combination of knit stitch and simple embroidery.

Note: This Americana pattern is not an actual U.S. flag, nor makes any claims to be. Out of reverence, of course you would want to protect and care for it as you would any of the precious items you knit.
