Introducing our beautifully crafted shawl, inspired by the exquisite Rosa Persica – a rose known for its thorny, rambling branches and its challenging nature in garden cultivation. This unique design reflects the rose's elusive beauty, with the delicate floral patterns subtly appearing in every other gap between the intricate branches and leaves, creating a stunning visual effect that will elevate your knitting collection.
This elegant shawl is expertly knit from the bottom up. The first step involves working the lace section into a rectangular shape, which introduces a harmonious blend of complexity and grace. For added dimension, crescent shaping is achieved by employing short rows that seamlessly transition from the middle of the shawl towards the edges. This unique construction not only enhances the shawl's aesthetic appeal but also ensures a comfortable fit.
It’s important to note that the lace section features beautiful patterning on both sides, giving you the creative challenge and satisfaction of mastering this technique, while also resulting in a versatile piece that can be worn in various ways.
Finished measurements of the sample shown in the pattern:
- Approx 75" top edge
- Approx 80" bottom edge

Additional Gauge:

This chic shawl design is perfect for intermediate to advanced knitters looking to challenge their skills while creating a breathtaking accessory. Whether you're knitting for yourself or gifting it to a loved one, the Rosa Persica shawl will surely be a cherished piece in any wardrobe. Embrace the beauty of this design and enjoy the process of bringing it to life!
