Sinuosity Shawl

Discover the enchanting Sinuosity Shawl, a stunning top-down triangular design that features sinuous waves flowing elegantly throughout its body. This exquisite shawl is crafted using the luxurious longwool fibers of Blue Faced Leicester, renowned for their exceptional luster and beautiful drape. For those considering yarn substitutions, opt for a wool blend containing silk to replicate the same flowing drape and refined finish.

The Sinuosity Shawl begins with a delicate lace "tab," a popular technique for initiating top-down triangular shawls. What sets this design apart is its longer "tab strip," which accommodates a lovely central panel enhancing the overall visual appeal. You’ll find a helpful link to detailed instructions for mastering this technique in the Links section of the pattern. The pattern includes options for both a narrow edging, as showcased in the sample worn by the model, and a wider edging, highlighted in the close-up images. This flexibility allows you to customize your shawl to match your unique style.
