Ships in the Night

Introducing "Ships in the Night," a beautifully crafted shawl pattern that envelops you in a comforting crescent hug of soothing garter stitch. This elegant shawl features two contrasting Fibonacci number sequences that flow past each other gracefully, reminiscent of ships gliding through the night sky. Designed to be knit from the top down, this stunning piece is finished off with an intricate Old Shale lace pattern, giving it a delicately scalloped edge that enhances both its beauty and functionality.

With just two coordinating 4-ounce (420-yard) skeins of fingering weight yarn, "Ships in the Night" offers an ideal knitting experience for both meditation and multitasking. The result is a striking shawl that not only looks fabulous but also provides a sense of tranquility as you knit.

After blocking, my shawl measured an impressive 82 inches across the top and 21 inches deep, though it naturally relaxes to a slightly shallower depth, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Whether draped over your shoulders during chilly evenings or as a stylish accessory, this piece will surely turn heads.

A huge thank you to tech editor Amanda Woodruff and test knitters Ann Berg and Sarah Peery for their invaluable contributions to this project.
