Delmare Shawl – Knitting Pattern
Delmare is a top-down garter and lace shawl which features a colorful wavy border composed of a variation of the traditional lace pattern known as Old Shale (aka Old Shell). Delmare alternates colorful garter eyelet stripes with squishy wide garter bands on the shawl body, which then flow into a stockinette-based Old Shale border worked with wide waves of contrasting colors. Since the Old Shale lace pattern originated in the Shetland Islands, I named the shawl Delmare, which means “of the sea.”
Delmare is a relaxing and intuitive knit, suitable for both newbie lace knitters as well as more experienced knitters looking for a social or TV knit. I designed it to be a good stash buster for your fingering weight/sock yarn, since in most cases, if you grab a full skein of the main color and some partial skeins of the other 2, you are good to go. (See below.) Fingering weight is recommended for this design. There are multiple ways to customize the size; full instructions are provided, including how to recalculate stitch counts. The pattern includes helpful video links as well as detailed blocking instructions
