Turtle Lake

When we would head to Chilliwack for the summer to visit my dad’s side of the family, our adventures often included camping at a few picturesque spots along the way. One of our favorite stops was Turtle Lake, a serene destination where we would wake up to turtles sunbathing on the warm rocks and logs lining the shore (don’t mind the not-so-perfect photo of the turtles; I was probably around 10 years old when I got my first camera and snapped that shot!).

The Turtle Lake knitting pattern is a charming, triangular-shaped shawl designed to be worked on a diagonal bias. The colors and intricate lacework beautifully evoke the tranquil essence of those emerald mountain lakes and the delightful creatures, like the lovely turtles, that inhabit them. This enchanting shawl is not only a stunning visual piece but also a wonderful one-skein wonder that you can craft with just a single skein of yarn, making it a perfect quick project for any knitting enthusiast.

Worked flat, the Turtle Lake pattern offers easy-to-follow written directions, comprehensive charts, and is divided into manageable sections for a seamless knitting experience. Ideal for knitters of various skill levels, this pattern includes detailed instructions for all the techniques used, ensuring even beginners can confidently create their very own Turtle Lake shawl. Additionally, it features a handy progress tracker to help you keep tabs on your row and stitch counts, making it easier to stay organized while you knit.
