Dogwood Shawlette

Knit with lace weight yarn doubled (700 yds) or opt for a fingering weight yarn (350 yds) to create this stunning shawl. The elegant lace border of this shawl beautifully evokes the broad petals of dogwood blossoms, reminiscent of my favorite tree. Flowering dogwoods are a delightful sign that spring has arrived in the midwestern US, where I spent my childhood. As the last chills of winter fade away, wrap yourself in this simple yet lovely shawl that showcases your choice of hand-dyed yarn wonderfully, bringing a splash of color to your wardrobe.

This shawl knits up quickly, especially when you use doubled laceweight yarn paired with larger-than-usual needles. Alternatively, you can achieve a similar effect using a single strand of 4-ply yarn. Perfect for both beginner and seasoned knitters, this pattern combines beauty and ease, making it an ideal project for those looking to elevate their knitting skills while enjoying the soothing process of creating. Whether you're preparing for those chilly spring evenings or simply looking to add a unique accessory to your outfit, this dogwood-inspired shawl is the perfect addition to your collection.
