Knitted shawls with a lace pattern can be worn at any time of year. If the needlewoman wants to create a lightweight cape for the warm season, you can use thin and smooth threads. For the winter time, woolen and half-woolen yarn of medium thickness and with a tight structure will do. For the finished product to hold its shape, you should knit it with dense yarns.
