Alice Maud Evening Wrap

Discover the beauty of hand-knitting with our exquisite lace evening wrap pattern, inspired by the rich tradition of Shetland Lace. This stunning wrap is perfect for any special occasion and showcases intricate lacework that is sure to impress. Designed for lace weight yarn (s2/28), this pattern allows you to create a wrap that elegantly drapes around the shoulders and adds a touch of elegance to any outfit.

This design is a modified version of a beloved pattern by the renowned designer Carol Rasmussen Noble, featured on the cover of the acclaimed book “Knits from the North Sea – Lace in the Shetland Tradition” co-authored with Margaret Leask Peterson. The stole incorporates traditional stitch motifs, specifically the beautiful stitch pattern named after one of Queen Victoria’s daughters, resulting in a timeless piece.

For a unique twist, Carol finished her stole with the exquisite Queen’s edge border, but my version features the charming Alice Maud motif that runs seamlessly from edge to edge and along both the top and bottom borders. The finished measurements of this lovely wrap are approximately 73 cm by 200 cm when blocked, and it weighs around 123 grams, making it lightweight and perfect for layering.

This hand-knitted lace evening wrap is an ideal project for intermediate knitters who want to enhance their skills in lace knitting while creating a treasured accessory. Whether you're preparing for a formal event or simply wish to elevate your everyday style, this lace wrap is a wonderful addition to any wardrobe.
