Ok everyone, here goes. I am the one who has a little (1 lb 7 oz) granddaughter and I would like to knit her a lace shawl. What patterns are best and what thread/yarn do I buy. I figure she will be in the hospital at least 3 more months so that gives me time, I hope, to finish it for her blessing.
Becca in Utah ============================================= Well, I would stay away from an ultra lacy shawl with lots of big holes or long, unsupported threads. The center should be relatively solid and the edges can be fancier. Little bitty fingers and toes can get stuck in stretchy, open loops. As for yarn, the superwash yarns come in a lot of colors and can simply be thrown in the wash or a cotton yarn. For a useable shawl, of whatever shape, garter stitch patterns stay flatter without superhuman effort.
