Cascading Hearts Faroese Shawl

HeartStrings knitting pattern #A2

Cascading Hearts Faroese Shawl pattern features stockinette stitch knitted lace of interlocking heart motifs. The distinctive "butterfly" shaping of the Faroese shawl makes an exceptionally wearable garment because of the shaped shoulders and elongated ends for optionally tying around the waist.

A retailer will ship directly to you.

As in all other Faroese shawls in the HeartStrings collection, Cascading Hearts Faroese Shawl is worked from the neckband down. You start with just a few stitches so that you can become familiar with your yarn and the stitch patterns. Different increase techniques are used in each pattern to achieve the traditional center back panel, side panels, front bands, and shaped shoulders.

Did you hear that the Cascading Hearts shawl I made won a blue ribbon at the State Fair? So, we did good!

Jackie, I ordered your patterns off your site because of the testimonials on your site. I have always wanted to tackle lace; specially Shetland shawls. My yarn arrived today from England. I am  using Jamiesons' Ultra Lace....Your hearts Faroese pattern looked intimidating---but I must say it is brilliant. Although chart B is a bit hectic, the rest flows so easily. I wanted to say that it has made entering the world of lacemaking so very much simpler than I had feared. Thank you for your concise yet SIMPLIFIED version of how to make a shawl. I know it will be FINISHED---and treasured for years!
