Róisín

Róisín, meaning "little rose," is a beautifully popular girl's name in Ireland and perfectly embodies the charm of this stunning ice-cream colored shawl. This delightful accessory features a seemingly intricate lace-edged rose pattern, making it a must-have addition to any knitwear collection. While it looks complex, this shawl is actually very simple to knit, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. The lace repeats are straightforward and easy to memorize, allowing you to enjoy the knitting process without constantly referring to the pattern.

The yarn used for this exquisite shawl is Burnished Rose, sourced from The Mottled Sheep, created by the talented Siobhan Power. This sock/fingering weight yarn consists of a luxurious 75/25 blend of superwash merino wool and nylon, providing both softness and durability. Perfect for this project, the hand-dyed nature of Burnished Rose adds an elegant touch to the overall design, enhancing its appeal.

The shawl features a top-down, double triangular construction that combines style and function. It starts with a garter tab cast-on, builds into a beautiful body crafted in stocking stitch, and culminates with a stunning lace edge that showcases the rose motif. The addition of a garter stitch edge and a simple spine enhances the overall design, ensuring this shawl is not only lovely but also practical for everyday wear. Whether you're looking to add a special piece to your wardrobe or searching for the perfect gift, this shawl pattern is a fantastic choice that promises to bring joy with every stitch.
