Nimrodel

“Beside the falls of Nimrodel,
by water clear and cool,
her voice, like silver falling fell
into the shining pool”

Introducing the **Nimrodel Shawl**, a stunning cable and lace triangular shawl crafted from the top down. This beautiful knitting pattern allows for easy customization by altering the number of repeats in Chart A, enabling you to personalize your creation to suit your style. The sample shawl featured here requires approximately **700 yards** of fingering weight yarn, while using around **400 yards** will yield a lovely shawlette size, perfect for those cooler evenings.

This design was inspired by my love for knitting while listening to **audiobooks**, particularly the enchanting tales within **the Lord of the Rings**. While contemplating a project for my shawl exchange partner, who adores shades reminiscent of cool waters, I stumbled upon exquisite yarn from the Yarn Yard. This yarn inspired the creation of a pattern that evokes the serene imagery of water flowing gracefully over smooth stones, which is how the **Nimrodel Shawl** came to life.

If you’re looking for a captivating knitting project that beautifully combines intricate patterns and textures, look no further than the **Nimrodel Shawl**. The flowing design and water-inspired elements make it a perfect choice for knitters seeking a blend of challenge and elegance. To ensure your success, detailed instructions and testing threads are provided [here][1].
