A square modified old shale lace baby blanket knitted from the center-out in the round that can easily be adapted to a shawl using a lighter-gauge yarn and smaller needles. The traditional lace pattern is simple yet beautiful so that it can be knit in either a variegated or solid colored yarn. For a large blanket or shawl all you have to do is add pattern repeats.

This pattern works well with any type or gauge yarn. Just adjust your needle size accordingly, and keep in mind that your finished blanket will vary in size. The pattern was written for worsted weight.

This blanket is knit in the round starting at the center. I used double pointed needles to start, followed by a circular needle. The blanket is almost a circle; it is actually eleven wedges forming a polygon. While it is fairly small, it is the perfect size for a little warmth in a stroller or baby carriage.
