The Shangri-La Scarf or Shawl is a free knit lace pattern that gives you two finished pieces in one design. Worked flat in lace weight yarn on US 7 circular needles, this rectangular wrap features a 12-row Offset Lace stitch pattern, garter stitch edges, and three sizes… narrow enough to wear as a scarf, wide enough to wrap as a shawl. Finished piece measures 14¾ to 26¼” wide and 60½ to 81¼” long, depending on the size you choose.
You know how some patterns make you choose… “do I want a scarf or a shawl?”… and you spend an hour scrolling Ravelry trying to decide? The Shangri-La doesn’t make you choose. Three sizes. Smallest reads as a long, lacy scarf. Middle and largest read as a true wrap-around shawl. One pattern, three finished pieces, all gorgeous. This is one of those rare knits that earns its place in your wardrobe and your gift list at the same time.
Hey, bestie 💛
The original Shangri-La was knit in Bijou Basin Ranch’s “Shangri-La” yarn… a dreamy 50/50 silk and yak down blend that felt like knitting with a cloud and looked like spun moonlight. That yarn has since been discontinued (I know, I know 😭), but the pattern lives on. The Offset Lace stitch is too good to retire, and I’m going to walk you through exactly which yarns to grab instead so your finished piece has the same airy, drapey, silky-soft hand as the original.
Whether you’re new to lace knitting and ready for your first big lace project, or you’re a seasoned lace knitter looking for a meditative TV-knitting companion, this one is for you. Cast on.

What You Will Love About This Pattern 💖
🌸 It’s free here on the blog. The full pattern is right here, thanks to the ads. If you’d rather have an ad-free, printable PDF, you can grab one from Shopify, Etsy, or Ravelry.
🧣 It’s a scarf AND a shawl. Three sizes mean you can knit the narrow size (14¾”) for a long, drapey scarf, or scale up to 26¼” wide for a true wrap-around shawl. Same stitch pattern, completely different finished pieces. Honestly the most versatile rectangular wrap in my catalog.
🪡 The Offset Lace stitch is gorgeous and approachable. It looks like advanced lace… it’s actually a 12-row repeat using only three lace moves you already know… k2tog, yo, and ssk. The “offset” comes from how those moves shift position each repeat. Anyone who’s worked a few basic lace projects can absolutely knit this.
💎 It’s the perfect home for a luxury lace skein. The pattern was designed for silk-yak. Silk-blend lace weights, fine merino, alpaca-silk… any drapey luxury fiber will sing in this pattern. This is the project for that gorgeous indie skein you’ve been hoarding.
🎁 It’s a stunning gift project. Lightweight, packable, fits any size recipient, and the customizable length means you can knit a quick small one or a heirloom-worthy big one without changing patterns.

Is This Knit Lace Pattern Right for You?
This pattern is a perfect fit if you’ve finished a few simple knit projects and you’re ready to try your first lace. You don’t need to be experienced with lace at all… you just need to know how to knit, purl, work a yarn over, and decrease with k2tog and ssk. If you can count to ten and follow a chart or written instructions, you can knit this.
It’s also a dream project for experienced lace knitters who want something meditative. The 12-row repeat is intuitive once you see how the lace shifts position each repeat, and the 5-stitch garter edges give your eyes a place to rest between lace rows.
If you’re brand new to knitting, I’d gently steer you toward my Super Simple Ribbed Lace Knit Scarf & Cowl first. It’s a confidence-building beginner pattern. Once you’ve finished that one, the Shangri-La will feel totally doable.
What Is Offset Lace, Anyway?
Great question. Offset Lace is a lace stitch pattern where the yarn-over and decrease combinations shift position by a set number of stitches each horizontal repeat. Instead of the lace stacking in straight vertical columns (like Columns of Lace or Feather and Fan), it staggers… creating a diagonal rhythm in the finished fabric.
In the Shangri-La, the 12-row pattern repeat works over a multiple of 10 sts plus 5. Each pair of rows shifts the lace one stitch over, so by the time you’ve worked all 12 rows, the lace has traveled across a full repeat width before resetting. The result is a soft, all-over openwork with a gentle diagonal pulse… never busy, never boring.
Here’s the trick: even though the stitch positions move, the stitches themselves stay the same. You’re working only three lace moves the entire pattern:
- k2tog… knit 2 stitches together (right-leaning decrease)
- yo… yarn over (the lace hole)
- ssk… slip, slip, knit (left-leaning decrease)
That’s it. The decreases on either side of each yarn over keep the stitch count stable, and the shifting positions create the lace fabric. After you’ve worked a few repeats, your hands will memorize the rhythm and you’ll find yourself zoning into Marly-mode (you know the one).
If you’re a chart knitter, the Offset Lace chart is here: Shangri-La Offset Lace Chart on Stitch Fiddle. Many lace knitters find the chart easier than written instructions once they’re a few repeats in… the visual rhythm of the offset becomes obvious on a chart.
Perfect for Weddings, Travel & Special Occasions
One of the things I love most about the Shangri-La is how dressed-up it can look. The Offset Lace stitch reads as elegant and handmade at the same time, and the lightweight drape sits beautifully across the shoulders without flattening a hairstyle or a gown. It’s the kind of finished piece that goes where you go and earns compliments every single time.
Here’s where this scarf-or-shawl really shines:
- 💍 Bridal wraps and bridesmaid cover-ups. Knit in ivory, champagne, or soft blush, the Shangri-La becomes a stunning hand-knit bridal accessory… perfect for cool outdoor ceremonies, breezy evening receptions, or destination weddings. The narrow size (14¾”) works beautifully for a bride who wants the lace as an accent; the larger sizes wrap fully for warmth on a cool night.
- 👰 Mother of the Bride / Mother of the Groom. Elegant, age-appropriate, and a meaningful piece you actually wear again after the wedding. Choose a colorway that complements (not matches) the wedding palette.
- 🌸 Spring and fall outdoor weddings. Lightweight lace handles 50–70°F venues without overheating you indoors. Throw it over a bridesmaid dress or a wedding-guest outfit and you’re set for ceremony, reception, and the cooler walk back to the car.
- 🥂 Galas, holiday parties, and black-tie events. The lace texture instantly upgrades a simple little black dress. Drape it as a scarf for a sleek look, or wrap it shawl-style for full glamour.
- ✈️ Travel. Packs into a tiny tube and weighs almost nothing. It’s the wrap that lives in your carry-on for over-air-conditioned planes, chilly restaurants, and unexpected temperature drops on vacation.
- 🎁 A heart-to-hand gift. Mother’s Day, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, graduations, christenings… anything that calls for “this is something special I made for you.” About 15–20 hours of knitting time for the smallest size, and it fits anyone.
- 📸 Photoshoots and family portraits. Adds texture, movement, and a softness the camera loves. (Yes, the photographer will probably ask where you got it.)

Build Your Skills with This Shawl
Even if you’re new to lace, the Shangri-La gives you a few skills worth locking in. You’ll practice working a multi-row lace repeat with offset positioning… this is muscle memory you’ll carry into every lace shawl or wrap you ever knit. The 12-row pattern is short enough to memorize after a few repeats but long enough to teach you how to track your place in a longer chart.
You’ll also master knitting lace weight yarn on bigger needles (a US 7 with CYCA #0 lace is wonderfully airy), maintaining clean garter edges alongside a lace body, and most importantly, wet blocking lace. That last one is where the magic actually happens… unblocked lace looks crumpled and small. Blocked lace transforms into the airy, drapey, magazine-worthy piece you fell in love with in the first place.

Yarn & Materials
The original Shangri-La was knit in Bijou Basin Ranch Shangri-La, a 50% silk / 50% yak down lace weight yarn (CYCA #0, 400 yards / 2 oz per skein). It was an absolute dream to knit and the finished fabric was breathtaking. Unfortunately, this yarn has been discontinued, so you’ll need a substitute. The good news: this pattern is gorgeous in any lace weight or fine fingering weight with good drape.
Suggested Alternative Yarns
Look for a lace weight (CYCA #0) or very fine fingering yarn with around 400 yards per 50–100g skein. The original yarn was a silk-and-animal-fiber blend, so substitutes with similar properties will give you the closest match in drape and shine:
- ❤️ Malabrigo Silkpaca… 70% baby alpaca / 30% silk, lace weight. The closest spiritual cousin to the original silk-yak. Insane drape, soft shine, and a huge color range.
- KnitPicks Gloss Lace… 70% merino / 30% silk, lace weight. Budget-friendly silk-blend option with excellent stitch definition.
- KnitPicks Alpaca Cloud Lace… 100% baby alpaca, lace weight. A halo of softness, beautiful drape, great for a warmer winter version.
- KnitPicks Luminance Lace… silk-blend lace with a subtle sheen.
- KnitPicks Capretta Fingering… 60% merino / 30% baby alpaca / 10% nylon. A silk-allergy-friendly option in fingering weight. Knit on slightly smaller needles (US 5 or 6) for a denser, warmer Shangri-La.
Yardage needed:
- Size 1 (scarf width, 14¾”): approximately 800 yards / 2 skeins
- Size 2 (medium shawl, 20½”): approximately 1,200 yards / 3 skeins
- Size 3 (full shawl, 26¼”): approximately 1,200 yards / 3 skeins

Notes
Before You Begin
This shawl is one of those relaxing, “just one more row” projects 😊 The 12-row lace repeat looks long at first glance but becomes intuitive after a few passes. A few things to keep in mind before you cast on:
- Directions are written for the smallest size; changes for larger sizes are in parentheses. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes.
- The piece is worked back and forth in rows on a 24″ circular needle. The circular needle simply gives you cord length to hold the full width… you’re not knitting in the round.
- The 5-stitch garter edges on each side keep the fabric flat and give your eyes a clean visual frame around the lace.
- Lace looks crumpled and small before blocking. Trust the process. Wet blocking transforms this shawl completely.
- The pattern is fully customizable in length… work more or fewer 12-row repeats to suit your preference, keeping in mind that more repeats = more yarn.
- Don’t stress about perfection. Small mistakes in lace tend to disappear into the texture, especially after blocking.

Blocking Your Shangri-La
Wet blocking is like sending your yarn on a spa retreat. It’s the process where your stitches unwind, enjoy a soothing cleanse, and settle gracefully into their final form. For lace, blocking isn’t optional… it’s the step that transforms a crumpled-looking piece into the airy, drapey shawl you fell in love with. Here’s how to pamper your finished Shangri-La with a thorough wet block:
- Soak. Submerge your piece in a basin or sink filled with cool water. Add a small amount of Eucalan wool wash or another no-rinse wool soap… this not only cleans but conditions the fibers. Let it soak for 15–20 minutes.
- Press out water gently. Don’t twist or wring. Press the piece against the side of the basin, or squeeze gently between your hands. Always support the entire piece when lifting so it doesn’t stretch under its own weight.
- Burrito roll. Lay the piece flat on a large dry towel. Roll the towel up like a burrito (with the shawl inside) and press firmly to wick out more moisture. Your piece should end up damp, not dripping, not dry.
- Pin to your blocking board. Transfer to blocking squares or a blocking mat. Align with the grid and gently stretch the piece to its target dimensions. Use blocking wires along the long edges for the cleanest results (lace knitter’s secret weapon), and pin the short edges with blocking pins.
- 🚨 Don’t overstretch! Lace can be stretched dramatically when wet… some yarns will grow to nearly double their unblocked size if you let them. Trust me, you don’t want a 5XL scarf. Stretch enough to open the lace, not enough to distort the shape.
- Let it dry completely. A full day is typical. A fan can speed things up. Keep out of direct sunlight (some yarns discolor in the sun).
When you unpin your finished shawl, you’ll see what every lace knitter knows: blocking is magic. The Offset Lace opens up into a full, airy, drapey fabric, and the piece settles into its real size and shape. Step back, admire your work, and try not to immediately cast on another one. 💛

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is the Shangri-La Scarf or Shawl?
Adventurous Beginner. You need to know knit, purl, yarn over (yo), k2tog, and ssk. If you’ve knitted a few projects and want to try your first lace pattern, this is the one. The 12-row repeat looks intimidating on paper but becomes muscle memory after a few passes.
Can I use a different yarn for the Shangri-La?
Yes… the original Bijou Basin Ranch Shangri-La yarn has been discontinued. Substitute any lace weight (CYCA #0) or very fine fingering weight yarn with good drape. Silk blends, alpaca-silk blends, and silk-merino blends work especially well. Honestly, this is the perfect home for that gorgeous indie skein you’ve been hoarding. See the Yarn & Materials section above for my specific substitute recommendations.
What’s the difference between the scarf and shawl sizes?
Size 1 (14¾” wide) wears best as a long scarf… narrow enough to drape comfortably around your neck. Sizes 2 and 3 (20½” and 26¼” wide) are true shawl widths, perfect for wrapping around your shoulders. Same stitch pattern, completely different finished pieces. The dual-purpose design is honestly the best part of this pattern.
Do I need to block the Shangri-La?
Absolutely yes… all lace patterns MUST be blocked. Before blocking, lace looks crumpled and shapeless. After wet blocking, the stitches open up and the shawl transforms into that airy, drapey, beautiful piece you saw in the photos. Skipping the block = not seeing the real finished piece. See the Blocking section above for my full step-by-step process.
How long does it take to knit the Shangri-La?
The smallest size knits up in about 15–20 hours depending on your pace. The larger sizes take 25–35 hours. Lace weight knits slower than worsted… but the result is worth it. It’s a wonderful “always-on-the-needles” project to keep going between bigger garment makes.
Are circular needles required even though it’s worked flat?
Yes… the pattern is worked back and forth in rows (not in the round), but the full width of stitches (especially in Sizes 2 and 3) won’t fit on straight needles. A 24″ circular needle gives you the cord length to hold all the stitches comfortably. You’ll just turn at the end of every row like you would on straights.
What is offset lace?
Offset lace is a lace stitch pattern where the yarn-over and decrease combinations shift position by a set number of stitches each repeat. This creates a diagonal or staggered effect in the finished fabric, rather than a straight vertical column of lace holes. In the Shangri-La, the lace shifts across a multi-stitch repeat to create a soft all-over openwork with a gentle rhythmic pulse. See the “What Is Offset Lace, Anyway?” section above for the full breakdown.
How much yarn do I need for the Shangri-La?
Size 1 (scarf width): approximately 800 yards of lace weight (2 skeins of 400-yard yarn). Sizes 2–3 (shawl widths): approximately 1,200 yards (3 skeins). If you’re customizing the length, plan for about 13 yards of yarn per inch of length in the smallest size, more for the larger widths.

Final Thoughts
The Shangri-La has been one of my favorite patterns to revisit. The original silk-yak yarn is gone, but the design itself has only gotten better… three sizes, two finished pieces in one, and a lace stitch that looks twice as fancy as it actually is to knit. That’s the kind of pattern that earns its place in your project queue.
