Galadriel's Mirror

Please note: This exquisite pattern is not included in the Fellowship of the Ring subscription. After the collection was launched, I discovered this unique design, and I couldn't resist sharing it separately. As a thank-you, subscribers will receive a $2 discount code, just like they enjoyed with Rivendell & Goldberry.

This captivating, symmetrical (mirrored) smocked knitting pattern features a stunning combination of twisted stitches and delightful bobbles, which evoke the beauty of Elvish runes. The central motif seamlessly transitions into an intricate design of diamonds and leaves, creating an enchanting visual experience. The shawl is framed by a delicate lacy border that beautifully repeats the runic pattern in openwork, culminating in an elegant, ruffled lower edge that enhances its overall charm.

Due to the intricate nature of this pattern, it is charted for ease of use; however, detailed written directions will be available upon request for those who prefer them. Keep in mind that these instructions can span many pages, so be prepared for an engaging knitting journey!

For the best results and to showcase the beautiful textured nature of this stitch pattern, I highly recommend using a fingering weight yarn instead of laceweight. The finer weight will highlight the complex details of the design, ensuring that every stitch stands out.

This pattern is particularly well-suited for a shaded solid yarn, as this choice will accentuate the intricacies of the design while adding depth and dimension to your finished project. Dive into this enchanting knitting adventure, and create a piece that is truly reminiscent of the magical world of Elves.
