This knitting pattern is a downloadable PDF that guides you to knit a beginner triangular shawl in stockinette stitch and easy lace, with clear instructions for every step.

Greenlace Shawl is a beginner-friendly project designed for knitters who are still a little green when it comes to lace. The pattern starts with simple stockinette, gradually introduces lace, and builds up to a more intricate motif before easing back into garter stitch. It’s a gentle and satisfying way to explore lace without feeling overwhelmed. The shawl is adaptable in size and can be made with just one or two skeins of fingering weight yarn.

Sizes
The pattern includes instructions for two sizes:
Small (1 skein): approx. 48” (122 cm) wide by 21” (53 cm) high
Large (2 skeins): approx. 63” (160 cm) wide by 28” (71 cm) high

Size can be further adjusted by working more or fewer repeats.
