✂️ Finishing

Weave in all ends securely using tapestry needle. To block, soak shawlette in cool water with wool wash for 15 minutes. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat on blocking mat or towels and pin into triangular shape, stretching lace pattern to open. Pin out each picot point along border edge. Allow to dry completely, at least 24 hours, before unpinning. Blocking is essential for this pattern to achieve proper drape and lace definition.

🧺 Care Instructions

Hand wash in cool water with gentle wool wash. Do not wring or twist. Lay flat to dry, gently reshaping to measurements. For cotton yarn, a light steam press on wrong side may refresh the piece. Store folded or draped to prevent stretching.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Dk). You'll need about approximately 550 yards, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.
This intermediate pattern assumes you're comfortable with basic stitches. You'll use ch, dc, sc, sp and a few more (see the Abbreviations section above). If increases and decreases are new to you, a quick 10-minute tutorial on YouTube before you start will make the pattern much smoother.
Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.
For this pattern, gauge is "18 dc x 9 rows = 4 inches in lace pattern (blocked)". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.
Hand wash in cool water with gentle wool wash. Do not wring or twist. Lay flat to dry, gently reshaping to measurements. For cotton yarn, a light steam press on wrong side may refresh the piece. Store folded or draped to prevent stretching. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.
Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
