Fruity Islands

Who doesn’t love strawberries? This gorgeous shawl combines beauty and functionality, mirroring the delightful structure of this beloved fruit. With its intricate Shetland-lace edge, this shawl has evolved into a stunning accessory perfect for any occasion. Picture yourself wrapped in this elegant shawl or scarf while savoring a delightful Chocolate Strawberry Pavlova! We've included a link to the delectable recipe from “A Taste of Shetland” below for your enjoyment.

This knitting pattern is incredibly versatile, allowing you to create a classic triangle shape or gradually increase the stitches for a longer yet less elevated shawl. For those who prefer a more modern look, you can knit the lace edge on both sides, or choose to increase fewer stitches to craft a lovely scarf. The design is perfect for various types of yarn, making it a fantastic addition to any knitter's collection.

When selecting your yarn for this stylish project, we highly recommend utilizing a scale. As you approach the halfway mark of your yarn, you’ll begin the decreasing phase, ensuring that you have enough material left to complete your stunning shawl or scarf without running out mid-project. This attention to detail ensures a beautiful finish that highlights your knitting skills.

Don't miss the opportunity to elevate your knitting projects with this strawberry-inspired shawl pattern, and delight your friends and family with the mouthwatering Chocolate Strawberry Pavlova. Get started today!
