Metropolis Shawl

Discover the perfect knitting pattern for urban-inspired creativity with our textured shawl that pays homage to big cities around the world. This captivating design features short rows, delicate lace, and simple colorwork that seamlessly blend modern elements with traditional aesthetics. Picture sprawling metropolitan landscapes: sleek skyscrapers standing proudly beside opulent historical architecture. As you knit, buildings will dance across the top of the shawl, while the foundations are firmly rooted in intricate lace patterns that grace the bottom edging.

Whether you envision New York City's iconic skyline, the breathtaking views of Chicago, the rich history of Boston, the romance of Paris, or the charm of London, this shawl allows your color choices to reflect the city that inspires you. From Godzilla's Tokyo to Batman's Gotham City, or Superman's Metropolis, the possibilities are endless. Whichever city you choose to evoke, this textured shawl will not only keep you snug from the chill of San Francisco's foggy bay but also protect you from the whipping winds atop Paris' iconic Eiffel Tower.
