I have test knit my new shawl pattern a couple of times and am confident that there are few if no errors. If you do find one, please, please, please let me know! You can message me in the comments or on Ravelry. I always like to correct any errors as soon as they are found and really appreciate everyone’s input into making my patterns easier to use. Thanks!
I have knit this shawl in both a worsted weight and a four ply. I used a 5.5mm needle for the worsted and a 4.5mm for the four ply (sock) weight. Both turned out really pretty and, while the worsted is very winter snuggly, the light one is lovely and drapey. The same pattern made two very different fabrics so the choice is yours on the look and feel that you want.
Now, without further rambling, here is part three of the Northern Rose Shawl.
Change to the next colour now if you are making the shawl in three colours. You will be using the edge markers still and you may wish to place markers between each lace repeat. You will no longer be working the centre panel stitches as a separate lace pattern but will incorporate them into the same lace pattern as the two sides. You can remove these markers as you work the first row.
The edging pattern will start with a twelve stitch pattern repeat and increase in two stitch increments to an eighteen stitch repeat as you come to the end. Stitch markers are your friend!

Bind off knitwise on the wrong side using a stretchy bind off. I used the following: K2, slip stitches back onto the left needle and K2tog to start then (K1, slide the two stitches on the right needle onto the left needle and K2tog) repeat across. If you have another favourite that you like to use that’s fine just make sure that it is stretchy so that you can block out your lace.
Block and weave in ends.
