Tausendschön Shawl – Daisy is a crescent-shape shawl based on Herbert Niebling’s pattern of the same name, Daisy in English. The original pattern is a very small doily. I added rows and modified it from a circular to a crescent shape. Daisy is meant to be a one-skein project (unless you are a loose knitter) so perfect for a quick knit and/or as a gift. It is a fairly straight-forward pattern but is engaging enough for experienced lace knitters. It changes from chart to chart yet requires only basic lace knitting stitches which makes it a relaxing and enjoyable project.

Daisy is worked from the top down with increases throughout the body. It uses approximately one skein – 437y/400m – of sock-weight yarns. It may also be knitted in heavy-lace or lace-weight yarn for a more open look. Please compare your usage to the test knitters (page 3 of the pattern) to ensure you have enough yarn if only one skein of fingering weight is being used. The shawl may be knitted with or without beads.
