The circular Pi shawl is a fabulous and fascinating project, and it's a great way to expand your lace knitting skills. It's also very easy to customize, and works well with any weight of yarn.
Use one of our patterns, or create your own one-of-a-kind lace piece. If you've got a favorite lace stitch pattern, bring it, and I’ll show you how to use it in your own design.
I'll demonstrate the magical circular beginning – and some easier alternatives, and demonstrate several clever and easy finishes, including the no-cast-off, blocking-friendly crochet edging.
Skill Level: Advanced beginner and up; knitters should be confident working in the round, increasing and decreasing.
