September Wings

September Wings is an exquisite wing-shaped shawl that beautifully reinterprets my very first design published on Ravelry, the beloved triangular shawl September Morning. Just like the original, this new version is skillfully worked from the center out, culminating in a stunning contrast-colored edging. Utilizing short rows, this technique results in a uniquely eye-catching shape that is sure to impress every knitter and their admirers.

The inspiration for September Wings came when a dear friend asked if it was possible to transform the warmth of the September morning sun into elegant wings, reminiscent of Icarus from Greek mythology. This idea blossomed into a true knitting masterpiece, proving that Greek myths serve as a fantastic source of creativity for crafters everywhere!

As you embark on this knitting journey, enjoy crafting your very own wings! Just be mindful of that radiant sun overhead, as it can sometimes lead you too close to the edge. Embrace the challenge and the reward of creating a one-of-a-kind shawl that embodies both beauty and mythological inspiration.

The sample for this pattern was knit using Geilsk Bomuld og Uld, a delightful blend of cotton and wool that enhances the rich texture of the shawl. For your convenience, we also provide several suitable substitute yarn options below to help you achieve the perfect look for your September Wings.

Unleash your creativity and spread your knitting wings with this engaging and inspirational project!
