Emilia - Rectangle lace shawl
Introducing “Emilia,” my original and exquisite wedding shawl, designed to be a stunning accessory for your special day or any elegant occasion. This beautifully crafted shawl not only embodies romance but also adds a touch of sophistication to every event, making it a versatile piece for your wardrobe.
This intricate shawl features a harmonious combination of a historic leaf border, inspired by the classic harebell lace border from Weldon’s Practical Knitter, and a charming variation of the Haapsalu “Waterlily” pattern, often referred to as the "star" pattern. Together, these designs create a visually captivating and timeless piece.
The knitting journey begins with the lower border, where you’ll create a gorgeous foundation of leaves. Following this, you will pick up stitches to craft the shawl center, culminating in the combination of the upper border, which is a refined, smaller version of the lower lace border. This thoughtful construction ensures that the shawl's beauty is balanced and equally detailed throughout.
All knitting patterns are meticulously charted for ease of use, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you’re an expert or just beginning, you’ll find joy in bringing “Emilia” to life.
The sample shawl was expertly knit using Malabrigo Silkpaca, known for its luxurious texture and drape. If you're looking for an alternative, a substitute yarn is listed below to help you create your own unique version.
