Festival of Threads

Introducing the stunning ‘Pi’ Shawl, a beautiful tribute to the legendary Elizabeth Zimmermann’s innovative technique for constructing flat fabric in knitting. This method is both simple and effective: double the stitches when you double the rounds, resulting in a harmonious balance and a perfectly crafted shawl. The ‘Pi’ Shawl is not only a fabulous addition to your knitting repertoire, but it also beautifully embodies the spirit of **Festival of Threads**, a celebration of lace knitting that's both delightful and engaging. As you knit this exquisite circular shawl, you'll notice that the edge is crafted using progressively larger needles, enhancing not only the aesthetic appeal but also the shawl's volume and floatiness. This clever technique not only allows for a more dynamic drape; it also speeds up the knitting process, making it perfect for those who love to see their projects grow. In fact, I've utilized this same increasing needle technique in my previous projects, including the Delilah shawl and the charmingly simple lacy pattern repeat featured in the Guppy Tailed Yo! shawl. It’s always enjoyable to return to familiar techniques that yield beautiful results. Unleash your creativity and add this ‘Pi’ Shawl pattern to your collection today—experience the joy of lace knitting and the satisfaction of creating something truly special. Perfect for knitters of all levels, this pattern is a great way to challenge yourself while enjoying a timeless craft.
