Introducing the stunning Clematis Shoulder Shawl, a beautifully designed accessory that knits up quickly in a soft worsted weight yarn. Named after the elegant clematis flower, this shawl features increases on every row, creating a highly wearable shape with extra-long points and a gentle crescent curve that drapes beautifully over your shoulders.
Crafted with exquisite details, the shawl showcases a mesmerizing combination of reverse stockinette stitch, delicate cabled vines, and intricate 3-dimensional leaves. These textured elements add depth and interest to the body of the scarf without compromising its lightweight feel. Additionally, a deep border adorned with charming flowers and airy lace ensures an elegant finish that can elevate any outfit.
Difficulty Level: This pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters or adventurous beginners willing to take on a challenge. It incorporates both lace and cable techniques, as well as multiple increases for inset leaves and sepals. While the main body of the shawl is straightforward, it requires concentration due to its unique design and lack of a simple repeat.

- Approximately 450 meters of worsted-weight wool yarn
- 5mm (UK 6, US 8) circular or long straight needles
