The Sinuous Line

Introducing the first shawl from "New Lines," an exquisite collection of four shawls inspired by the elegant curves of Art Nouveau.

Art Nouveau is renowned for its novel lines: graceful lines that flow, move, and curve back upon themselves, creating a sensuous and sinuous aesthetic. Nature served as the primary muse for these enchanting lines, drawing inspiration from the delicate branches, intricate roots, vibrant flower petals, and the mesmerizing wings of insects. Even the flowing locks of a maiden's long hair exhibit the beauty of these organic shapes. This top-down triangle shawl beautifully encapsulates the essence of the sinuous line, making it a stunning addition to any knitwear collection.

The body of this shawl is adorned with simple yet striking vertical eyelet lines that seamlessly transform into a captivating undulating lace edge. This lace edge showcases intricate patterns created on both the right and wrong sides, adding depth and character to the overall design. For your convenience, both charted and written instructions are provided, ensuring that knitters of varying preferences can enjoy this project.

Ideal for those with some experience, this pattern is classified as Intermediate to Advanced skill level, making it a perfect challenge for avid knitters looking to elevate their crafting skills.

SIZES AND APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS: Available in Medium (Large) sizes, measuring 48 (60) inches wide by 20 (28) inches deep after blocking, this shawl is designed for both versatility and impact.

The medium sample shown is crafted using Claudia Handpainted Fingering yarn in the vibrant color of Turquoise. For those seeking alternatives, a suggested substitute and various yarn options are included below.
