Why You’ll Love This Pattern

The K410 Circular Baby Shawl is a truly special knit, combining traditional lace detail with a generous circular shape for a beautiful heirloom-quality finish. The fine 3ply yarn creates a soft, delicate fabric that feels elegant and timeless, while the lace border adds texture and charm.

Perfect for treasured handmade gifts, baby celebrations, and keepsake pieces, this shawl is a rewarding project for knitters who love classic lacework and meaningful handmade items.

The K410 Circular Baby Shawl is knitted from the centre outwards, creating a traditional round shawl shape. It begins with just a few stitches, then gradually increases in evenly spaced sections to form the circular centre.

Once the centre has grown to size, the design moves into a decorative lace section, adding the delicate openwork detail around the shawl.
