The Mystic Light Shawl draws its inspiration from light in its many forms. The upper parts of the shawl show the starry night sky, and the lower part of the shawl represent the dancing flames of a warming fire.
Mystic Light is a triangular lace shawl with a height of 97 cm (38″), and a width of 206 cm (81″). There are cables in the center and along the top edge of the shawl. The first half of the shawl has one-sided lace patterns only (plain wrong-side rows) but in the second half of the shawl there is some lace-patterning on the wrong-side rows as well.
My shawl is knit on 4.5 mm needles, using 230 g of Merino 2/6 yarn from Fleece Artist. 100% merino wool yarn from Nova Scotia (325 m per 115 g). The shawl uses approx. 650 m of yarn. As always, yarn substitutions are encouraged.
This pattern is available in .pdf format for $8.00 CDN.
Mystic Light comes in two separate files. The MysticLightInstructions contain the beginning and finishing instructions, as well as the legends. All the charts are in MysticLightCharts. Please read the instructions carefully as they contain the entire setup for the pattern, as well as instructions on how the charts are used.
