Painted Memory

Inspired by the enchanting voice of Norah Jones, who serenades me as I knit, the Painted Memory shawl is a beautifully crafted, deep crescent/semi-circular shawl designed for knitters of all skill levels. This delightful pattern is knit from the top down, offering a seamless experience for crafters. The shawl features an intricate lace panel in the center, expertly combined with an all-over striped design and a lovely, slightly ruffled border. Both elements of the shawl can be customized in size, allowing you to personalize your creation and make it truly one-of-a-kind.

Painted Memory is designed to utilize two complementary yarns: a plain sport weight yarn (Yarn A) and a luxurious variegated silk mohair (Yarn B). This combination results in a shawl that wraps you in comfort without feeling heavy or cumbersome. The original design showcases Handmaiden Cashmere 4ply and Sparkleduck Tempest, but this versatile pattern gives you the creative freedom to choose any sport weight yarn—be it a single captivating color or a combination of contrasting hues for the stripes.

For your Painted Memory shawl, I used approximately 540 meters of sport weight yarn (Yarn A) and 305 meters of the contrasting fuzzy yarn (Yarn B). Please keep in mind that as you enlarge the pattern, your yardage requirements will increase accordingly. Embrace your creativity and let your knitting journey flourish with this stunning shawl pattern that will not only keep you warm but also reflect your unique style.

This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a cozy accessory or for those seeking a thoughtful handmade gift.
