Idlewild Wrap

Introducing our exquisite rectangle shawl pattern, designed with a unique bias knit technique that captures the essence of Idlewild, a whimsical spot from the beloved classic, *Anne of Green Gables*. Inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery’s enchanting words, “We call it Idlewild. Isn’t that a poetical name?” this shawl embodies a blend of literature and artistry.

The main color of yarn used in this design comes from the renowned Tangled Poets PEI collection. This beautiful colorway draws inspiration from another poignant quote by Montgomery, “Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it.” Each skein celebrates the vibrant landscapes and joyful spirit of Prince Edward Island, adding a touch of magic to your knitting experience.

To perfectly showcase the stunning variegated yarn, I opted for a simplified variation of Seed Stitch, which provides delightful texture while allowing the vibrant colors to shine through. To add a whimsical flair in line with the theme of Idlewild, I incorporated delicate lace stitches featuring charming flowers and butterflies—elements that Anne and Diana might stumble upon during their adventures in this picturesque retreat.

Whether you're looking for a creative project to enhance your knitting skills or a beautiful gift for a fellow literature lover, this shawl pattern offers both an engaging challenge and a stunning finished piece. Embrace the story and artistry of *Anne of Green Gables* as you knit your own Idlewild shawl, and experience the joy of creating something truly special.
