 The design for this large square shawl came about after exploring the beautiful Stitch Patterns of Gannet Designs. They seemed the perfect stitch patterns for the mesh lace of a larger shawl.

The sample shawl is knit in *Knit Picks Gloss Lace in the colourway “Marina”. (This is an affiliate link, meaning I get a commission if you make a purchase - there's no extra cost to you!)  And this inspired the name of the shawl, because, during the entire production process, my brain kept insisting that the colourway was called “Marianna”! Hence, the Marianna Shawl!

The shawl is knit in the round from centre out. The edging is knit flat and joined to the shawl as you work. The main lace mesh motif and the edging pattern are both charted, with written instructions available as a secondary download. It only has one size, which is a 68 inches (170 cm) square, though, that will vary somewhat by how much you block it. 

Now, onto the other important part, the Knit-Along Details! 

 For the month of July, every finished shawl has a chance to win a  $30 CAD Gift Card from The Knitting Loft,  or, 4 patterns of your choice from my Web Shop! And, don't worry, WIPs are very much accepted, so, if you've got a shawl languishing on the needles or in a project bag somewhere, now's a great chance to finish it!
