Baby Shetland Lace Christening Shawl – Restored Vintage Knitting Pattern (1980s) Tree of Life Candlelight Border Sawtooth Edge 47''x47'' 2-Ply 3-Ply Experienced A4 & US Letter PDF Instant Download-88#

A breathtaking heirloom piece — this Shetland lace christening shawl was published in the mid-1980s but draws on a deeply historical design tradition rooted in the 1950s. Worked in the finest 2-ply or 3-ply yarn, it features a delicate lacy centre, border panels of the iconic Tree of Life / Candlelight formations, and a pointed chevron sawtooth lace edge worked around the entire perimeter. A labour of love and a treasure to pass down through generations.
