Temple and Arch

This unique shawl showcases geometric diamonds and sharp angles that transition gracefully into smooth arches along the bottom edge, enhanced by charming little peaks formed by a picot bind-off. This eye-catching accessory is perfect for knitters looking to elevate their skills while creating a stunning piece of wearable art.

This exquisite knitting pattern is entirely charted, ensuring that every stitch and notation is clearly explained. Additionally, the triangular construction techniques are detailed, making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, you'll find the instructions straightforward and the design process enjoyable.

A special thanks to the wonderful Corgi Hill Farm fan group for testing this pattern! Designed with versatility in mind, the shawl pairs beautifully with a gradient yarn hand-spun from Corgi Hill Farm fiber, but it would also look extraordinary in a solid color or variegated yarn. Some creative testers even experimented with two contrasting colors, resulting in truly unique pieces.

While gauge is not critical for this pattern, it's important to note that it will influence the yardage needed and the final measurements of your shawl. Create a cozy accessory that suits your personal style and showcases your creativity!

This enchanting pattern draws inspiration from Neil Gaiman’s marvelous work, Neverwhere, making it not just a knitting project, but a journey into a story-filled creation. Start crafting your own piece of literary-inspired wearable art today!
