Honeybees and Cats Paws Shetland-patterned Lace Shawl

The inspiration for this rectangular lace wrap came from a corner of our garden. The colors were too much to resist, so I found an indie dyer in the UK to match the colorways for me. The design incorporates two traditional Shetland lace stitch patterns – Honeybees and Cats Paws – worked on a garter stitch background.

If you’d like to knit this with the colorways shown, there are contact details in the pattern for the indie dyer I worked with. Otherwise, any lace-weight or light fingering weight yarns of your choice could be substituted.

The wrap required less that one skein of each colorway.

Happy knitting!
