Sylvatica

Introducing the Sylvatica Shawl, a gorgeous and relaxing semicircular shawl featuring an expanding leaf lace design that adds a touch of texture and depth. This stunning knitting pattern beautifully starts with a central floral motif and gracefully flows into a series of expanding leaves. As you knit, you will love how the shawl transitions into the intricate tracery of winter branches, finally blossoming into the new leaves of spring. This captivating design is perfect for knitters of all levels who wish to create a unique piece that showcases the beauty of natural elements.

The Sylvatica Shawl can be crafted in two versatile sizes, allowing you to customize your project to fit your style. Plus, the edging can easily be extended a bit to use up any remaining yardage, making it a practical and resourceful choice. This pattern works beautifully with a variety of yarn weights, from lace to heavy fingering, accommodating solid, semi-solid, very subtle speckles, or gradient colors to enhance the intricate lacework.

The sample showcases the shorter size, incorporating 12 wedges to create a half-circle design. However, the pattern is thoughtfully designed with 15 wedges in mind, creating a fuller circle shape that sits perfectly on your shoulders. Feel free to adjust the depth and number of wedges, as you can easily modify the length, width, and overall yardage of your shawl to suit your preferences.

For your ease, the pattern is predominantly charts only, offering you a visual guide to follow. To help you get started, the first 55 rows are also written out in detail, making it accessible for both seasoned knitters and adventurous beginners. While the shawl is primarily offered in one main size, you have the flexibility to shorten or extend your piece slightly, as well as adjust the width to achieve your desired fit.
