Delius

Introducing the exquisite shallow crescent-shaped shawlette, beautifully designed to be worked from the top down using innovative short-row shaping. This technique not only creates a graceful crescent silhouette but also allows for a stunning large motif lace repeat at the elegant edging. The gentle garter stitch background cleverly conceals the intricacies of the short-rows, while magnificently highlighting the vibrant hues of the hand-dyed yarn by Liberty’s Yarns. Named after "The March of Spring" by Frederick Delius, this shawlette draws inspiration from the second of seven enchanting songs, making it a perfect piece for music lovers and knitting enthusiasts alike.

The shawlette is available in two generous sizes: the small version measures 60 inches wide and 12 inches deep, while the large option spans 72 inches wide and reaches 15 inches deep, making it a versatile accessory for any wardrobe. Whether you choose to drape it over your shoulders for a cozy evening or wear it as a statement piece, this shawlette offers both style and comfort.

To elevate your knitting experience, “The Seven Songs” e-book is now available for purchase, featuring the first two patterns: Debussy and Delius, both freshly released to inspire your creativity. Stay tuned, as the remaining five songs will be unveiled monthly, culminating in a spectacular collection of patterns that celebrate the artistry of music through knitting.
