I asked GPT4 for a lace shawl pattern. Here's what it gave me! (I guess this is... like "Feather and Fan." Sort of.)

Here's a simple triangular lace shawl pattern. This pattern uses a basic lace stitch called "Old Shale" or "Feather and Fan." It is easy to memorize and suitable for beginners.

Instructions:

Cast on 3 stitches.
Setup row (WS): Purl all stitches.
Increase row (RS): K1, yarn over (YO), K1, YO, K1. (5 stitches)
Purl all stitches on the wrong side (WS) rows.

Start the Old Shale lace pattern:

Row 1 (RS): K1, YO, K1, YO, K1, YO, K1, YO, K1. (9 stitches)
Row 2 (WS): Purl all stitches.
Row 3 (RS): K1, YO, K2tog, YO, K1, YO, SSK, YO, K1. (11 stitches)
Row 4 (WS): Purl all stitches.

Continue to work the Old Shale lace pattern, repeating rows 1-4 and increasing as follows:

Row 1: *K1, YO; repeat from * to the last stitch, K1.
Row 2: Purl all stitches.
Row 3: K1, YO, *K2tog, YO; repeat from * to the center stitch, K1, YO, *SSK, YO; repeat from * to the last stitch, K1, YO.
Row 4: Purl all stitches.

Repeat these 4 rows until the shawl reaches your desired size, ending with row 4 (a WS row).

Bind off loosely on the right side using a stretchy bind-off technique, such as the Icelandic bind-off, to maintain the shawl's elasticity.
