Honeybees and Cats Paws Shetland-patterned Lace Shawl

The inspiration for this rectangular lace wrap came from a corner of our garden. The colors were too much to resist, so I found an indie dyer in the UK to match the colorways for me. The design incorporates two traditional Shetland lace stitch patterns – Honeybees and Cats Paws – worked on a garter stitch background.

If you’d like to knit this with the colorways shown, there are contact details in the pattern for the indie dyer I worked with. Otherwise, any lace-weight or light fingering weight yarns of your choice could be substituted.

The wrap required less that one skein of each colorway.

Print ‘o the wave Lace knit wrap

This rectangular lace wrap features a traditional Shetland pattern known as Print ‘o the Wave. It is knit flat and then a narrow eyelet edging – worked in the round – is added. A 2-ply, undyed white Shetland wool yarn is used for this accessory.

Note that two 24”/60cm or 32”/80cm circular needles are needed for the edging, which is worked in the round.

I used 4 balls of Shetland Supreme Lace Weight yarn.
