Moonlight garden
Welcome to the enchanting world of the **Moonlight Garden Shawl** – a beautiful knitting pattern inspired by the dreams of homesteading and gardening harmoniously aligned with the **seasons** and the **phases of the moon**. This unique shawl is perfect for knitters looking to create a stunning accessory that is not only beautiful but also embodies the spirit of nature.
This half pi shawl features an **interesting construction** that sets it apart: several intricate lace portions are worked alternately on both the **right side** and the **wrong side** of the fabric, leading to a striking and unique texture that captivates the eye. To finish, an elegant attached border is added, which not only binds off all the stitches but also enhances the overall design. This innovative technique will keep you engaged and excited as you knit.
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: You will need 4 skeins of **O-Wool, Local** yarn, comprised of 50% organic merino and 50% alpaca, or approximately **400g of worsted weight yarn**. The sample used **3 full skeins** with a mere **9g left**, so we highly recommend having the full 4 skeins on hand for the best results.
Gauge:
- 30 rows & 15 stitches = 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch using the larger needle.
- A full border repeat measures approximately 3 inches (8 cm) long by 2.7 inches (7 cm) wide in the smaller needle.
Needles: A US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needle and a US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needle are recommended, or you can use whichever needle size is necessary to achieve the desired gauge.
Notions: Don't forget to include a tapestry needle to weave in the ends and complete your beautiful shawl.
Pattern Details: This versatile pattern includes written instructions for the shawl portion, while the attached border is provided in both written and charted formats, making it easy to follow along at your own pace.
