      Can this be easily adapted to a worsted weight and larger needles?

        Of course - gauge is not crucial for this project. With a worsted weight yarn and larger needles you'd probably get a larger shawl, or you could just do fewer repeats of the lace sections. In fact, you could adapt this pattern to any yarn weight simply by increasing or decreasing the number of repeats of the lace sections until you reach your desired size.

        @Katie H: Thanks - I really like the shawl but would like to have it a bit warmer/sturdier for the person I'd make it for. Looking forward to making it. Thanks so much.

      this is really beautiful, well done, did you find that the edges curled up at all ?

        Thank you! No, the edges don't curl at all, but it's really important to block this shawl. It really helps to open up the stitches and to define the contour.
