Aphrodite's Shell

Introducing the Aphrodite Shawl, inspired by the ancient Greek goddess of love, who famously emerged from the sea in a stunning scallop shell. This exquisite feminine shawl captures her essence beautifully with its delicate allover lace pattern, elegantly bordered with charming frilly “shells.” This unique design makes it an ideal addition to any knitwear collection.

Crafted as a shallow triangular shawl, the Aphrodite Shawl is worked from the top down, allowing you to easily tailor its size to your preference. It begins with a simple garter tab and is finished with a delicate picot bind-off for an enchanting finish. Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to challenge yourself, this pattern provides clear instructions for adding or subtracting repeats to customize your shawl. Detailed guidance is offered throughout, ensuring knitters of all levels can create a stunning piece.

The first edging pattern lace is skillfully worked on both the right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) of the shawl, providing a lovely reversible design. To enhance your knitting experience, both written and charted instructions are included, allowing you to choose your preferred method of pattern reading.
