Louloudi

Discover the beauty of Louloudi, which translates to flower in Greek—a stunning crescent-shaped shawl that showcases intricate garlands of daisy stitch. This exquisite design not only adds a unique texture but also beautifully highlights the color transitions of a lovely variegated yarn. Louloudi is expertly knitted from the top down, featuring simple increases on each row that shape it into a delightful crescent form. The addition of short rows introduces charming sections of Stockinette stitch, creating lovely slices between the strands of daisy chains and contributing to an overall asymmetrical silhouette.

As you knit Louloudi, you'll enjoy the soothing rhythm of this pattern while crafting a versatile accessory perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions. A delicate picot bind-off completes this stunning shawl, adding an elegant touch to its edge. To create your own Louloudi, you will need just two skeins of fingering weight yarn—choose a single color for a bold statement or mix and match two colors for a more playful design. This lightweight yet warm shawl will keep you cozy while you take strolls through vibrant wildflower fields, making it an ideal companion for any outdoor adventure.

The sample showcased is crafted with Inner Yarn Zen Superwash Fingering (100% superwash merino wool), renowned for its softness and durability. Below, you'll find alternative yarn options that will allow you to create a gorgeous Louloudi personalized to your taste.
