Thurmont is a contemporary, textured lace shawl featuring striking geometric design details. The asymmetrical shaping begins with just a few stitches which then flow into a handsome chevron lace panel flanked by faux cables. While that panel forms the left edge of the shawl, the remainder of the body is a growing field of cute garter squares alternating with eyelet motifs. The versatile shape may be draped in many configurations to be worn as either a shawl or a scarf.

Thurmont is a great first lace project since there is minimal shaping and the lace pattern is very intuitive to knit and easy to memorize. There are helpful tips about working the shawl included as well as detailed blocking instructions.

The size is very easy to customize by changing the number of pattern repeats; full instructions are provided, including how to calculate stitch counts for any size.

The Thurmont pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of you prefer not to use charts.
