Dogwood Shawl
Welcome to the world of the Dogwood Shawl, a stunning knitting pattern inspired by the sublime beauty of the dogwood tree. These trees are not just beautiful harbingers of warmer weather; they hold a special place in my heart as my husband works with them professionally. After a long winter, there's nothing quite as exhilarating as witnessing a field full of blooming dogwoods in all their glory. This vibrant inspiration led me to create the Dogwood Shawl, a perfect piece to celebrate the arrival of spring at any time of year.
The Dogwood Shawl is a beautifully designed square shawl that is large enough to be worn in multiple stylish ways, making it a versatile accessory to have in your wardrobe. It also serves as a cozy lap blanket or a lovely baby blanket, providing warmth and comfort during those cooler spring evenings. This shawl is crafted in a center-out design, allowing the intricate lace pattern to flourish as you knit in the round. The pattern is thoughtfully prepared with both easy-to-follow charts and comprehensive written instructions, making it suitable for knitters of various skill levels.

For this exquisite shawl, you will need 1000 yards (914 m) of fingering weight yarn.

The yarn blends 51% silk with 49% merino wool, providing a luxurious feel and drape—perfect for elegant shawls. Each skein weighs 8 oz (226 g) and offers an impressive 1000 yds (914 m) of knitting pleasure.
