Annwyl

Introducing **Annwyl**, a stunning semicircular shawl that beautifully combines intricate stripes with an elegant double cable motif, all edged by a delicate lace mesh that creates a captivating floral shape. This exquisite design features a unique lace pattern, also worked in stripes, utilizing slipped stitches to seamlessly blend the vibrant stripes into an airy open mesh. Constructed from nine thoughtfully designed wedges that radiate outward from the center, Annwyl gradually widens to form a luxurious wrap that is both stylish and functional.

Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of Pembrokeshire, Wales, where Posh Yarn is lovingly produced, **Annwyl** embodies the essence of natural beauty. The name "Annwyl," meaning beloved or cherished in Welsh, was thoughtfully selected by Dee of Posh Yarns, emphasizing the heartfelt connection to this enchanting location.

The shawl's intricate cable design draws inspiration from the beautiful Celtic knots created by Devorgilla, adding a touch of heritage and artistry to each piece. This pattern is perfect for using a pair of solid or semi-solid fingering weight yarns, offering the flexibility of either bold, contrasting colors for striking visual impact or gentle, harmonious tones for a softer, more subtle effect.

It’s important to note that the **Annwyl** pattern is charted only, accompanied by clear written notes for guidance. The shawl utilizes approximately 1000 to 1200 meters of heavy fingering weight yarn or a lesser amount of light fingering weight, providing the option to extend the mesh for those who wish to use additional yarn and create a larger design.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate newcomer, the **Annwyl** shawl pattern offers a rewarding project that combines creativity with the rich cultural heritage of Welsh designs. Elevate your knitting collection with this beautiful pattern that is sure to become a cherished piece in your wardrobe.
