Lanhydrock Shawl

Inspired by the stunning formal gardens of Lanhydrock, a renowned Cornish stately home, this exquisite shawl pattern showcases intricate lattice designs, delicate leaves, and an elegant knitted-on trim. This shawl is perfect for knitters looking to create a beautiful, heirloom-quality accessory that captures the essence of classic garden artistry.

The sample featured in the images is knitted using a lovely 4-ply yarn, but this versatile pattern will also work beautifully in a lighter-weight yarn if you prefer a more airy feel. The adaptability of this pattern means you can express your creativity with different yarn choices!

To begin, the main shawl is worked from a convenient tab cast-on method, allowing for a seamless start. The decorative trim is expertly knitted on, adding an extra layer of elegance to your finished piece. For an added touch of charm, you have the option to incorporate beads into the trim. While the beads serve primarily to assist with blocking, they can enhance the visual appeal of your shawl. You will need 42 beads, along with an appropriate crochet hook to attach them effectively.

I recommend purchasing three skeins of yarn for this project; although I successfully completed the shawl with just two skeins, I used them to the last meter, totaling a full 400 meters. It's always a safe bet to have a little extra yarn on hand to ensure you can finish without any stress!

Please note: This pattern is charted only. Enjoy the creative process and the satisfying journey of knitting your own stunning garden-inspired shawl!
