Bird Cage Shawl

What if a single decrease in your knitting could create an almost vertical line? Imagine moving the increases for a top-down shawl design to different positions—what unique shapes and styles could emerge? Many of my knitting patterns begin with the question “What if?” This playful approach to charting and experimenting with yarn is what drives my creativity and keeps my projects exciting.

This year, I've been captivated by those elegant bird cage planters that dominate the displays in every home improvement store. Unfortunately, my gardening skills leave much to be desired, as I proudly possess a black thumb! However, this pattern offers a delightful solution: it introduces an innovative almost vertical single decrease technique, creating beautiful cage lines that mimic the look of a birdcage. To enhance the design, I incorporated simple lace leaf motifs that will allow you to create your very own un-killable bird cage planter—perfect for your home or as a thoughtful gift.

This knitting pattern includes both detailed charts and clear, line-by-line instructions, catering to your preferred method of lace knitting. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern will guide you through the process of creating an eye-catching and functional decor piece. Embrace your creativity and transform your knitting experience with this unique bird cage planter pattern!
