Gilt Wood Shawl
Gilt Wood: A Versatile Square Blanket Shawl Pattern
Introducing the Gilt Wood, a stunning square blanket shawl that combines a variety of knitting techniques, including blackberry stitch and Fair Isle. This design starts with a square knitted flat, then transitions into knitting in the round, with strategic increases taking place at the corners. While this pattern presents a challenge for beginner knitters, it promises to keep your hands busy and your knees warm during cooler months!
For this exquisite shawl, we recommend using Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift, which boasts the same delightful drape and bounciness as the John Arbon Textiles Harvest Hues showcased in the sample. With a vast array of colors available, you can easily customize your shawl to reflect your personal style. The three colors we've selected here serve as excellent alternatives for your project!
