Royal Icing Shawl

Royal Icing is a crescent shaped shawl inspired by decorated sugar cookies. Most of this shawl is garter stitch, stockinette or simple lace, making it perfect for TV or travel knitting.

Info for Yarn Substitution

This pattern is written for sport weight yarn. If you cannot find a sport weight yarn, choose a fingering weight yarn. You should not need to change needle size unless your yarn is a very thin fingering weight.
