Lola Celtic Knots Shawl
After years of my mom dropping hints about the perfect shawl, I finally found the time to create something special for her while working on my thesis—funny how a busy schedule can ignite creativity! Introducing the stunning Debra Peacock Tail Shawl, designed with love and care for my mother. As I crafted her shawl, my grandma couldn't help but pout and sigh, prompting me to assure her that I had a beautiful design in mind just for her.
Presenting the Lola Celtic Knots Shawl, a heartfelt tribute to my lovely Irish grandma. This exquisite shawl features intricate vines, leaves, flowers, and alternating beaded Celtic knots that beautifully represent our heritage. I incorporated striking blue and clear beads into the knot pattern, perfectly adding a pop of color and elegance. If beads aren't your preference, don't worry! You can easily omit them and knit those stitches in the traditional way. To prepare for beading, a crochet hook is included in the materials list for seamlessly adding beads to your stitches. Overall, you'll need a total of 714 beads—358 clear and 356 blue—to complete this stunning piece.
The pattern comes with both written and chart instructions, making it easy for knitters of all levels to follow along. The Lola Celtic Knots Shawl has a generous size, draping beautifully over the shoulders and reaching just below the back for optimal comfort and style. If you prefer a larger shawl, simply increase your needle size to 5mm. In this case, you'll need just over two skeins of the luxurious Knit Picks Gloss Lace yarn in Natural to achieve your desired look. Whether you're knitting for yourself or creating a special gift for a loved one, the Lola Celtic Knots Shawl is sure to become a cherished piece in any wardrobe. Start your knitting journey today and embrace the beauty of this intricate design!
