Trillidium
Discover the beauty of our exquisite shawl pattern, which features subtle striping achieved by interchangeably using one and two strands of lace weight yarn. This wide garter stitch shawl is not only a stunning accessory but also a practical piece that wraps you in warmth while exuding elegance. The design culminates in a delicate lace border that adds a touch of sophistication, making it perfect for any occasion.
Knit from the top down and outwards from the center, this shawl's garter stitch body is the epitome of a mindless knit, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned knitters alike. It's a fantastic project to bring to your next knit night or as travel knitting, allowing you to immerse yourself in the soothing rhythm of stitches. The elegant lace border at the end enhances its beauty and provides a delightful challenge to keep your knitting engaging.
This shawl is lovingly named after the trillidium govanianum, a rare and enchanting Himalayan plant belonging to the Trilliaceae family. The plant's distinct three leaves and striking three-petaled flower inspired the graceful lines of this shawl, symbolizing nature's elegance that you can carry with you.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using a lace weight yarn that has approximately 800 meters / 875 yards per 100g, ideally featuring a high silk content for that luxurious feel. You will need around 150g (1200 meters / 1320 yards) to complete the shawl.
*I used Juno Fibre Arts Bliss (50% Camel, 50% Silk), which provides an exquisite softness and drape, boasting 800 meters / 875 yards per 100g, requiring just 2 skeins in the beautiful colourway: "Ocean". While this gorgeous yarn has been discontinued, you can easily find suitable substitutes that meet these specifications to create your own stunning shawl.
With this pattern, you'll not only enhance your knitting skills but also create a timeless piece that is sure to be treasured. Dive into this soothing project and wrap yourself in the beauty and warmth of your hand-knit creation!
