Notus

Welcome to the enchanting world of knitting with our delightful pattern for the Notus Shawl, inspired by Notus, the Greek god of the South Winds. Known as the harbinger of storms in late Summer and Autumn, Notus has long been both revered and feared as the destroyer of crops, presenting challenges to travelers as he ushers in the transition from warm summer days to the cooler embrace of autumn nights.

This beautiful pattern artfully combines garter stitch and short rows to create a flowing, textured shawl that captures the essence of gentle breezes and warm, sunlit days. The distinctive spiraling cabled border draws inspiration from nature, evoking memories of breezy outings and peaceful afternoons spent outdoors.

The Notus Shawl is designed in an asymmetric right-angle triangular shape, providing a modern twist to a classic shawl style. You will begin by knitting the body of the shawl, before elegantly adding a sideways knitted border that enhances its overall charm. The shawl is exquisitely finished with an I-cord edging that goes throughout the design. What makes this pattern truly special is its versatility— the border can be knit in a contrasting second color, allowing for endless creative possibilities and personalization.

The detailed pattern includes comprehensive written instructions for the shawl's body and offers both full written and charted instructions for the stunning cable techniques. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern is accessible and rewarding.

This stunning sample is showcased in Malabrigo Arroyo, in the captivating shade of Glitter, requiring just 2 skeins (770 yards / 612 meters). If you wish to explore the two-color option, you will need 335 yards / 306 meters in each shade.
