Aviarium

Introducing the Aviarium Shawl: a delightful blend of creativity and nature! Inspired by the words "Avis" (meaning bird) and "Arium" (a designated space), this unique shawl design is perfect for bird and plant enthusiasts alike. While exploring various garden centers, I couldn’t help but notice the charming birdcages—whether they were used for showcasing plants or adorned with eye-catching succulents. As I browsed home décor catalogs, I found these whimsical birdcages everywhere! Eager to bring this aesthetic into my own space, I decided to create a knitted version, making a vibrant birdcage filled with beautiful flowers and lush vines. This top-down shawl boasts a captivating mix of two of my favorite shawl shapes: a top-down wedge combined with elegant half-pi shaping. The design seamlessly transitions from one style to the other, culminating in a stunning applied border that enhances the overall beauty of the piece. Perfect for seasoned knitters and beginners alike, the Aviarium Shawl serves as a wonderful project to showcase your knitting skills while adding a touch of nature-inspired flair to your wardrobe. Enjoy the soothing rhythm of knitting as you create a wearable piece of art that reflects your love for the natural world. With its unique design and beautiful finishing touches, this shawl is sure to become a cherished favorite in your collection!
