Ethereal Fichu

Cast on or +Queue at

Start at the point of the triangle and increase to the widest point, creating a pretty pointed edge along the sides of the triangle. To add a bit of a curve to the basic triangle shape, the initial lace motif transitions into a similar one with a slightly different scale partway through the length of the fichu. A pretty coordinating edging is worked sideways to bind off and complete your project.

Triangular shape 42" deep and 56" - 60" wide. 475 - 500 yards laceweight yarn, approx 2 oz, 4 stitches/inch, size US 6 / 4.0 mm needles suggested. Charted and written instructions.

The yarn is Laughing Rat Studio hand-dyed Laceweight Merino in the colorway "Peony". I added one repeat of chart C to make it a bit bigger. I gave the shawl to my mother for her birthday and she just loved it.
