Setting the stage, pattern

Setting the stage is a great name for this crescent shaped shawl as you are constantly increasing in rows of Stockinette stitches to then finally setting the stage to a spectacular, yet easily knitted lace border.

Blocked size: Span of 84” in the bottom lace section, 17” in height, including the 4” height lace portion.

The pattern is written and has a lace chart.

Use up your stash or knit from a knit kit, either way you will thoroughly enjoy this project.

Yarn: 
Used here a brand new color way called “Heartbeat” in the Yarnology skein with 7 changes in colors, textures and weight in 34 yards each portions. 238 yards in total. 
Plus 2 skeins of Organic cotton, a DK weight with 125 yards a skein. 
 
C1 - sport red

Notions: 
US size 10 (6 mm) circular needle 40” (101 cm) in length 
23 Stitch markers (trust me, you want them) 
Darning needle or crochet hook for finishing

Gauge: 
You may need a larger needles size, as I am a loose knitter. A gauge swatch will reassure you of the needle size needed.
