Talise Shawl – Knitting Pattern
Talise is a top-down, crescent-shaped lace shawl with a wide mesh lace border that cascades into elegant curls. The name Talise is of Native American origin and means beautiful waters. The design inspiration for this shawl comes from my memories of fishing with my dad on the Potomac River in Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia, when I was a teenager. The various motifs in the design evoke water, rocks, boulders and arrowheads.
While dimensions and yardage are provided for fingering or sock weight, Talise could also be worked in any weight you choose. Solid or tonal yarn is recommended for this design. Both the body and border lengths may be customized—full instructions are provided, including how to calculate yardage and stitch counts for any size. The pattern includes detailed blocking instructions to show how to block the shawl in order to achieve the spiral effect at the wingspan ends.
