choose either fully patterned shawl, or simple variation in mostly stockinette stitch
modular construction in 4 parts, no seaming or picked up stitches
fully patterned shawl is in worsted-ish weight for a chunky, squishy lace
it can also be made in lighter weight, loosely knit for an open lace
full pattern is in a standard size, with notes for adjusting size
simple variation is for any weight yarn, in small{medium, large}, notes for custom sizing
there are 2 edging options - a thinner edge and a wider edge
all lace patterns are written and charted

for fully patterned version: approx 700 yards / 640 meters total DK-worsted weight yarn, for the standard size, with the thin edging (or less/more for smaller/larger sizes as you want; for wide edging, approx 70 yards / 65 meters more)
for fully patterned version: size US 7 / 4.5mm long circular needle (60" is ideal, but 32" or longer will work), or size to get gauge of 4.5 sts per inch / 2.5 cm, in stockinette stitch
for simple variation: enough yarn in any weight, either all the same color, or mostly in one main color, plus approx 1 skein worth in contrasting edge color yarn (total yardage estimates - for bulky approx 300{400, 500} yards / 275{365, 455} meters; for worsted approx 360{460, 560} yards / 330{420, 510} meters; for sport approx 400{520, 640} yards / 365{475, 585} meters; for fingering approx 450{580, 710} yards / 410{530, 650} meters)
