Pippu

Drape your shoulders in luxurious elegance with our stunning bias-knit shawl, inspired by the serene beauty of a Zen garden. This enchanting accessory features gentle ripples and intricate lace designs, reminiscent of tranquil pathways trimmed with lush moss. Drawing inspiration from a recent journey to Japan, this pattern is perfect for soft, delicate yarns in your favorite soothing colors. The gorgeous yarn used in our sample was naturally dyed with avocado pips, leading to its delightful name: Pippu, the Japanese word for pip.

Begin your knitting adventure with simple, easy stripes that alternate a fingering weight yarn with a single strand of lace weight yarn. This combination creates an eye-catching texture that sets the stage for the shawl's elegance. Next, you’ll transition into a straightforward lace section, skillfully worked with the lace weight yarn doubled, providing a beautifully floaty finish to the asymmetrical triangle shape.

This versatile shawl is not only a wonderful addition to your wardrobe but also an ideal project for knitters looking to explore the delightful world of lace and texture. Whether you’re wrapping it around your shoulders for a cozy evening out or using it as a stylish accessory to elevate any outfit, this shawl is sure to become a cherished piece in your collection. Perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike, our Pippu shawl pattern combines creativity with tranquility, allowing you to enjoy a piece of Japanese-inspired artistry in your knitting.
