London Calling

London calling? You may wonder why! It's simple: I designed this captivating knitting pattern, “London Calling,” to celebrate my unforgettable trip to London in Autumn 2013. Knowing that the evenings would be chilly, I aimed to create a cozy, chunky shawl that would keep me warm while exploring the city's charm.

“London Calling” is not only a quick knit but also a delightful project that promises hours of fun. The pattern is straightforward yet striking, using worsted weight yarn to ensure a fast and enjoyable knitting experience. The body of the shawl features a design reminiscent of the raindrops that frequently grace London’s weather, adding a touch of whimsy and elegance. Meanwhile, the enchanting edging draws inspiration from the Gothic arches found in the majestic castles, cathedrals, and ruins across the UK, offering a classic yet contemporary flair.

This unique pattern was initially offered exclusively as part of the Nurturing Fibres Pattern Club and made its debut for sale on November 1, 2013. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, “London Calling” is a beautiful addition to your knitting repertoire, perfect for anyone looking to create a stunning shawl that embodies the spirit of London in the fall. Embrace your creativity and let this pattern inspire your next project!
