Icarus Shawl Pattern
This shawl was inspired by a lace motif in Sophia
Caulfeild’s Dictionary of Needlework, first published in 1882.
The top-down construction allows the design to flow downward,
giving the feeling of feathers dripping from a stick frame, just
as in Greek mythology, Icarus’ feathers melted from their frame
as he came too close to the sun.
This pattern was first published in Interweave Knits Magazine,
Summer 2006 Issue.
Yarn Requirements: 4 oz of Jaggerspun Zephyr Laceweight
(50% Merino Wool, 50% Tussah Silk) in color Pewter.
Suggested Needles: 3.25 mm (US 3) 24" circular needle.
Gauge: 21 sts & 38 rows per 4” in stockinette after
blocking.
Finished Size: 72” across the top, and 36” from neck to
point.
Techniques Used: This pattern uses the following
techniques: knit, purl, k2tog, p2tog, yo, place marker, slip1
stitch, ssk, yo4, psso, k1f&b. |

Seraphim Shawl Pattern
Seraphim is a very simple, yet elegant design that
makes one think of feathered wings - hence the name. If using
fingering weight yarn, the solid stockinette upper portion gives
a warmth not found in most lace shawls. It would be perfect to
throw over a t-shirt in a drafty room, or could spice up a plain
black dress for an evening out. The stockinette upper slowly
fades into the lace edging for a subtle effect.

weight wool or wool blend. Any fiber may be used, but the lace
will show to best advantage with a fiber that will block well.

or size to obtain gauge.
Notions: at least 4 stitch markers, and a row counter
would be handy.

Finished Size: 72" across the top and 36" from center top
to bottom point
Techniques Used: Techniques used include knit, purl, yarn
