The Lonely Tree Shawl
Are you looking to expand your knitting repertoire? Consider making the stunning Elder Tree Shawl, which offers a more easily modifiable design!
The Lonely Tree Shawl is a beautifully crafted accessory perfect for Fall, featuring an intricate leaves design and knit in the warm, tweedy worsted weight Loden yarn. This lovely shawl is an ideal addition to any autumn wardrobe, providing both style and warmth as the temperatures drop. It’s a straightforward lace knit, making it a fantastic project for intermediate knitters who are comfortable with essential techniques like knitting, purling, and working yarn overs.
The name "Lonely Tree Shawl" carries multiple meanings that add to its charm. For one, as trees shed their leaves in Fall, they can seem lonely without their vibrant foliage. Interestingly, the shawl's design mimics the appearance of leaves themselves, suggesting a whimsical story where one might have ‘borrowed’ leaves from a tree, thus making it a "lonely tree." Alternatively, when trees lose their leaves and look bare, you could knit this beautiful Lonely Tree Shawl for them, offering warmth and comfort in the chilly season.
This pattern wouldn't have been possible without the collaboration of incredible individuals! A heartfelt thank you to my model Savanna, and to my proof-reader and talented test knitter, Nicola (known as woolcamera on Ravelry) for their invaluable contributions.
The sample shawl is knitted in Grignasco Loden yarn, known for its softness and durability. If you're looking for a suggested yarn substitute, options are provided below to help you create your own stunning Lonely Tree Shawl.
