Notes From the Designer:

What is love? Whether we mean self-love or love for another, how do we define it? Is it our feelings, our actions, or some combination of the two? Is it possible to imbue an object with love or to wrap ourselves in it? Whether you knit this pattern for yourself or as a gift for someone special, these are things to think about as you work. The love might be in the finished object itself, or in the knowledge that this is a gift for or from one person who loves another enough to create for them something beautiful. Perhaps the love created by this gift will be paid forward in ten or twenty or a hundred little ways, like ripples on a pond. Perhaps it will touch one person, and maybe that’s enough. No matter how we define it, love is always around us.

  • Gauge is important to this shawl, as you may run out of yarn if you do not obtain the same gauge as the designer.
  • This pattern is an easy introduction to lace for adventurous beginners or a meditative piece for more experienced knitters. The shawl features a simple two-row repeat that shifts slightly with each color change, but otherwise remains the same throughout the entire piece. If you prefer not to shift the texture, simply omit the second pattern, and continue the first pattern throughout the body. You can also shift the texture more often, if you like. This pattern is yours to adjust as you please.
  • This shawl is worked flat from side to side.
  • The pattern is written for four colors, but you can use as many or as few colors as you like.
  • Eyelet rib shifts occur as colors change, but you can also decide where/how often you want to shift the rib, or whether you want to shift at all. Width can be easily adjusted by casting on more or fewer stitches in a multiple of 8 + 6 (3 for each edge). Length can also be adjusted by working more or fewer repeats in each color.
  • The original version is shown in our limited edition SeaCoast Fingering yarn in discontinued colors: A) Boardwalk, B) Sand Dollar, C) Inlet, and D) Reef. It used one skein of each color for a total of 1662 yards (1520 m).
  • If working with multiple skeins of the same hand-dyed color, remember to alternate skeins every couple of rows to avoid color pooling.

It is an easy but elegant pattern. Just knitting it with 100% wool from Scotland and with a 3mm needle. Works fine and I hope it will be a loved birthday gift. Your work is amazing Chandi I realy love the patterns and your videos. I'm little sad that we can't meet that easily. But from Hamburg in Germany it takes a bit longer. Stay as you are.

I started making this shawl at least two years ago with the help of lovely Chandi on You tube tutorial, so it was nice to get the pdf of the written pattern for free. Previously I didn’t know if pdf would work with my limited computer skills so it was good to try it out on a free pattern. I was able to print out the pretty pictures and the written pattern and solve the mystery that I wasn’t too bothered about but slightly curious as to how the pattern shifts. Anyway, on reading it, I decided to continue without changing the order of the lace pattern, since I have finally got the hang of the initial pattern within the last couple of months.

I fell in love with your videos while re-teaching myself to knit. I'm a crochet person and have been for years but I wanted to learn more about knitting and getting a different result with my stitches. I wanted to try out this pattern first, its easy to understand and if I don't know about a stitch then its not that hard to research or ask. I'll let you know how it goes. :)

This pattern is elegantly simple (if I decide to use one colorway) and slightly less elegant but a lot of fun (depending on what I raid from my stash. I love the transition from one color to the next! My knitting needles are jockeying for position! Time to get going on this!!!! :)

I was looking for "that" elegant but simple pattern for my made spun yarn. FOUND IT! My mom asked me to make a wrap for a very special friend of hers. I made ups several swatch patterns for her to choose from, and I knew that Love and Lace would be it. Chandi, thank you for all that you do. Your FB, Youtube, patterns and yarn are in my opinion the best available! Hugs Kim
