I love the lines created by the lace motif which soften where they cross, and the wonderful drape with this yarn!
Inspired by the stunning beauty of the Pink Beach of Budelli, off the coast of Sardinia, Italy, this lacey, reversible stole enchants from start to finish. Knit up in Bulletproof sock, Madeleine Windsor’s shawl is perfect for a sweet spring evening. Savor the delicate filigree lace stitches as if they were gentle waves on the pink sand.
Madeleine’s Top Tip
Once you have the pattern memorized, which is fast as you get in the rhythm, then you can keep track of when you need to cable by counting yarn over holes, rather than rows. Once there are 7 yarn over holes on the left side of the elongated lace motif, it is time to work the C4F at that motif, that is every other motif across that row.
