Although it's called the Simple Lace Shawl, there is nothing simple looking about it. This stunning knit shawl pattern is a beautiful wrap or coverlet for breezy nights and chilly afternoons. This pretty lace shawl features beautiful shades of blue, green, purple, and gold, so it's perfect for incorporating a little color into whatever you're wearing. The Simple Lace Shawl makes a great gift, but it's so gorgeous, you might want to keep it for yourself.

How do I download pattern for easy lace shawl?

Hey there, jzeszutko! Unfortunately, we don't have a download option. However, you can try our 'print' button at the top of our page for a physical copy! It's just below the star rating, which is beneath the project headline. I hope I could help! Happy knitting!

Ya know, I'm tired of clicking to get a free Simple Lace Shawl pattern and being thwarted at every turn. WHERE IS THE PATTERN!!!!
