Estonian dream shawl

Introducing the stunning Estonian Dream Shawl, an exquisite piece that combines elegance and charm with its slightly asymmetrical shape and intricate design. This shawl draws inspiration from the traditional old Estonian willow stitch pattern, making it a unique addition to your knitting collection. You begin the project by casting on a few stitches at one wing tip and then effortlessly knit into a beautiful widening triangle. The mesmerizing pleats of the shawl create a sense of fluidity and movement, suitable for any occasion.

One of the standout features of the Estonian Dream Shawl is the delicate lace border that adorns all three sides. This lace is "knit as you go," allowing for a seamless finish as you work through your project. For those seeking additional texture and visual interest, you may choose to incorporate the optional nupps, which are small bobbles adding depth and dimension to the overall design.

This knitting pattern is remarkably adaptable and can be easily modified in size by simply increasing or decreasing the number of repeats of the main pattern, allowing you to create a shawl tailored to your personal style. The sample shown measures an impressive 45" wingspan by 20" deep, utilizing approximately 380 yards (350 meters) of yarn, making it an ideal project for showcasing your favorite fingering weight wool or wool blend yarn.

Don’t be deterred by the intricate look of the lace pattern; it's actually easier than it appears, with all patterning confined to the right-side rows only, making it manageable for knitters of various skill levels. Please note that this pattern is charted only, guiding you through each step of this functional yet artistic project.
