Ranrike Shawl

Ranrike is the historical Norse name for the stunning region that encompasses what is now southeast Norway and Bohuslän in Sweden. This name is derived from Rán, the ancient Norse goddess of the sea, symbolizing her enchanting kingdom. Renowned for its dramatic rocky landscape and breathtaking granite cliffs, Ranrike serves as an inspiring backdrop for creative projects like our exquisite shawl pattern.

This beautiful shawl pattern offers a unique knitting experience where the edging is skillfully crafted first. After completing the edging, stitches are picked up along its length to form the main body of the shawl. The signature crescent shape of the shawl is achieved through working short rows, adding both elegance and comfort to your finished piece. The lace patterning is charted and features intricate details on every other row, giving it a delicate and sophisticated look. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this pattern will challenge and inspire you.
