If you don’t mind my plugging my new book, I designed the Julia shawl in it to be as simple as possible for beginning laceknitters: the whole thing is six stitches, repeated forever to the length you want, and it comes out gorgeous. The shaping is a bit better than the Strawberry Pie (which was my initial attempt at this sort of thing) and the instructions are much better–written out well, and charted, too.

I’d second the vote for the Forest Canopy shawl. It’s written with beginners in mind, and uses a sport weight yarn so it’s a bit easier to manage. You can also use a laceweight and just do more pattern repeats if you want it bigger. Keep at it, it does get easier.

How about a shawl in Feathers & Fan (aka Old Shale)? My attempts at tackling lacy or even simple open work were pretty sad and ended in frustration. Read somewhere to use markers to mark the repeats. Was the a ha moment I needed.

The Very Easy Ripple Shawl on the Lion Brand Web Site is Feathers & Fan. Haven’t tried it but did make a scarf from another patter I had on #8 needles and used a lighter weight worsted yarn. Turned out nice. Feather & Fan lends itself pretty well to any size needle or yarn.

Good luck!

If you want an easy, beginner level shawl, may I suggest this one:
http://knittingasfastasican.com/forest-canopy-shoulder-shawl/

Susan writes her patterns with a beginner in mind. I think you will be able to tackle this one. I have the pattern and it is not difficult to make…promise. And it has been knitted so many times that I am very sure that it is error-free.

Have fun on your trip.

Since time is the issue, have you considered the One Skein Shawl pattern over at KnittersReview.com? I know Lisa from Pegs & Needles has done it in both lace weight and sock weight yarns with tremendous success. I’m giving it a go, but I wouldn’t call what I’m knitting a success, just yet! Still very much a newbie with needles .
