Godzillas Garden
Introducing the "Godzilla in the Garden Shawl" – a whimsical and much-beloved knitting pattern that is sure to become a favorite in your collection. Inspired by the scattered lilys throughout the mesh design, one tester humorously noted they resemble the footprints of Godzilla taking a leisurely stroll through the garden!
This stunning shawl is crafted sideways, expertly combining the body and border in one seamless process. The main body features a beautiful mesh pattern adorned with delightful lilys (or Godzilla's footprints), allowing you to create a large and striking shawl with minimal yardage. As you knit, you'll enjoy the intricacy of the leafy border—designed to keep your mind engaged and your hands busy. This pattern is perfect for intermediate to experienced knitters who are familiar with lace techniques.
One of the fantastic features of this shawl pattern is its versatility: you can adjust the size to fit your preferences or use up your yarn stash effectively. Whether you want a cozy wrap for cool evenings or a statement piece for special occasions, the Godzilla in the Garden Shawl can be customized to achieve the perfect dimensions for your needs.
Shawl Size: Wingspan measures approximately 150 cm (59 inches) with a depth of 45 cm (18 inches). As mentioned, it is easily adjustable—detailed instructions are provided within the pattern.
Recommended Needles: For this shawl, you will need US 6 (4 mm) needles to achieve the best results.
Yarn Requirements: You'll need about 400 meters (436 yards) of light fingering weight yarn. The sample shown uses 2 skeins of Yarn Edition Cashmere & Silk, with each skein weighing 50g and measuring 199 meters (218 yards). For a stunning finish, I suggest opting for a solid or semi-solid yarn that can hold a good block for that polished look.
Difficulty Level: This pattern requires lace knowledge, including yarn overs (yo), decreases, and twisted stitches. It's a rewarding project that will enhance your knitting skills while producing a gorgeous, eye-catching shawl.
