Alaïs by Judy Furlong

A Gothic Windows lace pattern adorns this shimmering little shawl.

"This capelet features a classic lace stitch which is surprisingly easy to knit," says Judy Furlong. "It forms its own scalloped edge at the cast-on edge - but be sure to use a stretchy cast-on method to allow this to happen."

The capelet is worked from the bottom up, decreasing in circumference gradually to the shoulders. "It is fairly gently shaped, so choose your size according to how you would like the garment to sit - a smaller size if you just want it to cover your shoulders, or a larger size if you would like more fabric to wrap yourself in for those chillier summer evenings," says Judy.
