Corinthian Order MKAL masterfile.pdf knitting pattern

Pattern notes:
The lace is shown in CHARTS. There are no written instructions for the lacework. There might be in the future, but it is unlikely. There are detailed written reminders for the border stitches, and tutorials on chart reading and shawl structure for shawl beginners.

My design includes the use of 6/0 seed beads, 5 per pattern repeat plus 104 for border motifs, but you can substitute these with a nupp, purl stitch, or plain knit stitches. Good for an adventurous beginner, intuitive enough for the advanced knitter to be able to watch TV while not glancing down too much.

You can use one colour for the shawl body and a different one for the border chart, if holding true to the original glory of Greek temples. If you intend to go more for the memory of the classical, you can use one colour throughout. Gauge is not important, and neither is yarn weight, so long as you get a fabric you are happy with and can work the repeat to the stitches you need.
