Soar
Introducing SOAR, the captivating first piece in our planned series of "anatomically inspired" knitting designs! These unique shawls and stoles draw inspiration from the real anatomies of flying creatures in the natural world, blending natural aesthetics with wearability for the modern human. Each piece showcases stunning designs inspired by the beauty of nature, making them not only functional but also elegant fashion statements.
The SOAR shawl takes its inspiration from the magnificent wings of birds, featuring symmetrical, contoured feathers that vary in sizes and shapes. Please note that this design is not an exact anatomical reproduction of any one species, and it is not intended for veterinary purposes or the creation of personal flight devices. Instead, it artfully mirrors the general appearance of the intricate wing structures found in a variety of flying birds, bringing a touch of nature’s elegance to your wardrobe.
Available in two sizes, SOAR caters to your unique style preferences: the "fledgling" size is a smaller, true triangular shawl, perfect for those who seek a snug yet stylish accessory. Meanwhile, the larger "adult" size boasts a broader, almost-crescent triangle shape, achieved through innovative shaping techniques that offer a wider and more open wingspan—ideal for those who wish to make a bold fashion statement.
Both sizes of the SOAR shawl have been thoughtfully formulated for the same approximate gauge, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. While gauge isn't critical, I recommend using a sport or heavier weight yarn for the best results and to fully capture the beauty of the design. Explore the art of knitting with SOAR and wrap yourself in the elegance of nature's flying wonders—transform your knitting experience today and prepare to inspire others with your beautifully crafted shawl!
