Pumpkin Patch

Unveiled at Fibre Flurry 2011, this exquisite pumpkin vine-inspired shawl pattern is perfect for knitters looking to take on a unique project. Designed with three identical triangular panels, the shawl is expertly constructed from the top down, featuring elegant eyelet increases that create a stunning visual effect. The hem of the shawl beautifully combines a mist drops pattern with intricate Estonian lace techniques, enhanced by transitioning from a 5 ply yarn to a denser aran weight yarn, ensuring a rich texture. For those seeking a lighter alternative, the entire shawl can also be knitted in 5 ply yarn, resulting in a larger, more ethereal garment that will surely turn heads.

This versatile pattern comes with both charted and fully written instructions, making it accessible for a wide range of skill levels. Rated as moderately easy, the shawl predominantly features stocking stitch, allowing knitters to relax through much of the work. However, a bit of concentration is necessary for the lace edging to ensure precise results. Additional techniques included in this project are provisional cast-on, double and treble yarn-overs, and right twists, offering a fantastic opportunity to enhance your knitting skills.

For this project, you'll need the following materials:

• Long (120cm) 4mm circular needles or sizes required to achieve the desired tension
• 100g/ 262m of Adore by Sweet Clement (shown in Maple color)
• 100g/ 280m of Rowan Kid Classic (shown in Dark Orange shade 827)
