Loie

Introducing Loie, an exquisite Art-Nouveau-inspired shawl that beautifully merges contemporary knitting with historical artistry. This stunning piece is a collaborative creation between the talented designer [Beth Kling][1] and the renowned yarn brand [Lilou Yarns][2].

Named after the iconic Loie Fuller, a performer and a pioneer of modern dance from the Art-Nouveau era, this shawl captures the essence of artistic expression through its design. Loie features an asymmetrical triangular shape, which is not only visually striking but also practical for everyday wear. The shawl boasts a neck-hugging ribbed body that provides comfort and warmth, while the intricate knitted-on cable and lace edging showcases the complex, flowing borders that were hallmark characteristics of the Art-Nouveau movement.

The Loie pattern has been specifically crafted to highlight the luxurious qualities of Lilou's [Posh DK][3] yarn, making it an ideal project for knitters looking to create something both unique and elegant. The combination of the shawl's curves and the sophisticated yarn will bring out the best in your knitting skills.
