Click here to view The Arabesque Shawl Details

A most exquiite and unique shawl. The word “arabesque” is a musical term which means “decorative musical material or composition based on florid embellishment.” We think this lacy stole exemplifies the word in knitterly terms, being decoratively embellished with lovely lace throughout!
This is a garter stitch stole with every row knit. The stole is started at one end with a lace edging. Stitches are then picked up along the straight edge and the body of the stole is worked from this end to the other. After the body is completed, the lace edging is knit sideways onto the live stitches.
Shown in JaggerSpun Zephyr 2/18 lace weight yarn in color Jade.
Recommended for Advanced Intermediate Lace Knitters.
Our Fiddlesticks Knitting Arabesque Knitting Kit includes the following:
This shawl is approximately 20 inches wide and 79 inches long after blocking, but it can be made longer or shorter if desired by either using a finer or thicker gauge yarn, by varying the knitting needle sizes, a combination of both, or by simply knitting more.
27 stitches and 36 rows of the gauge swatch chart provided within the pattern to 6 inches wide and 5 inches high, after blocking and pinning tightly to "open up the lace."
We offer this kit in all available colors in the JaggerSpun Zephyr 2/18 lace weight yarn line. Please click on the image below to see available colors.
