A dramatic rectangular shawl inspired by traditional Shetland lace-knitting.

The main panel of the shawl is worked first, flat, then an inner border is picked up around all edges and worked in the round. Finally a lace edging is knitted on perpendicularly, around the entire perimeter of the shawl.

The lace patterns are given both as charts and as full written instructions.
