Ribbon Turquoise

The Ribbon Turquoise shawl is a stunning accessory inspired by the beautiful wavy ribbons of brown and turquoise that characterize this unique stone. The name not only reflects the colors but also highlights the distinctive cutting style of the semi-precious gem. Turquoise naturally forms in varying vein widths within the surrounding rock, and when cut to showcase the mother rock with the original vein or "ribbon" of turquoise as an accent, it becomes known as "ribbon turquoise." This exquisite design adds elegance and visual intrigue to your knitting repertoire.

The Ribbon Turquoise shawl is designed as a triangle shawl, expertly worked from the top-down in a seamless, one-piece construction. It begins at the neck with an easy garter stitch tab, making it approachable for knitters ready to take on a new project. The pattern includes comprehensive instructions for the intricate lace motifs, provided in both charted and written formats for your convenience.
