Anemone Fields

Fields of anemones swaying gently in the breeze—a symbol that winter has finally given way to spring. Embrace the change of seasons by knitting your own colourful Anemone Fields shawl. Watch it ripple gracefully in the wind, flowing elegantly from your shoulders.

The Anemone Fields shawl is a unique crescent-shaped design that captivates with its charm. This pattern cleverly incorporates increases within the lace itself, eliminating the need for a visible center. To create your masterpiece, you'll need between 250-500 meters of either lace or fingering weight yarn. The shawl's size is easily customizable; simply add more repeats to expand its dimensions. Plus, the pattern is fully charted, making it accessible for knitters at any skill level.

For a vibrant touch, consider crafting a stunning rainbow shawlette using just 1 skein of Shoppel-Wolle Zauberball 100 in the color Kunterbunt. This yarn is 100% Merino and boasts an impressive 437 yards (400m) per 100g, making it perfect for this project. Use 3.5 mm (US 4) needles to create a blocked size of approximately 35 x 105 cm (14 x 41 inches). The gauge for this shawl is 15 stitches per 10 cm in stockinette, ensuring a beautiful drape and soft texture.

If you prefer a more luxurious option, try the elegant purple shawl, made using 2 skeins of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Dahlia. This exquisite yarn is also 100% merino, providing 420 yards (384 m) per 100g skein. Knitting this shawl with 4 mm (US 6) needles will yield a blocked size of 48 x 125 cm (19 x 49 inches).
