Sister syster

Discover the beauty of knitting with our enchanting pattern, inspired by the stunning yarn Milburn from Eden Cottage. This lovely blend of British Blueface Leicester (BFL) wool and silk, thoughtfully spun and dyed in the UK, sets the perfect foundation for your next project.

Our pattern is also influenced by the vibrant atmosphere of Unwind Brighton and the breathtaking coastal landscape of the Seven Sisters cliffs, symbolizing the strength and beauty of sisterhood. Just like the connections between sisters, the construction of the Sister Syster shawl is not entirely uncomplicated. It features a unique sideways design that increases toward the center, creating a lovely tapering effect as it finishes.

The sample showcases an elegantly elongated silhouette, yet this pattern is incredibly versatile. We provide helpful suggestions for knitting a shorter and/or wider shawl to fit your personal style and preference.

Adorning the textured grid of the body are sophisticated sister cables that elegantly envelope the design, holding all the elements together as they beautifully merge toward the end of the shawl. This pattern offers a harmonious, intuitive rhythm, allowing you to immerse yourself in the knitting process. After familiarizing yourself with a repeat or two, you’ll be able to knit with delightful abandon—no need for charts or written instructions! However, both are included for your convenience, along with photo tutorials covering the unique starting and finishing techniques, ensuring a smooth knitting experience.
