Pentland Hills Shawl Pattern
Inspired by the breathtaking rolling green hills located to the southwest of Edinburgh, the Pentland Hills Shawl is a delightful and relaxing knitting project that beautifully showcases the luxurious qualities of the yarn. Whether you're looking to drape yourself in warmth or elevate your knitwear collection, this exquisite shawl offers both comfort and style, making it an ideal accessory for any season.
The design of the Pentland Hills Shawl allows the stunning Ginger’s Hand Dyed Splendor yarn to shine in its full glory, thanks to the simplicity of its gorgeous construction. This pattern is incredibly approachable and perfect for knitters of all levels. It is especially suited for beginners who are eager to learn, as well as for more experienced knitters looking for a relaxing, meditative project to enjoy during quiet evenings.
This shawl features a wide crescent shape crafted from soothing garter stitch that serves as a beautiful canvas for a lovely, easy-to-knit lace border. To add an eye-catching detail, the project is finished with a striking looped picot bind-off that enhances its overall elegance. One of the best aspects of the Pentland Hills Shawl is that it is fully reversible; the lace design has no discernible right or wrong side, allowing you to wear it in multiple ways.
