Two Roads
Two Roads Shawl Pattern is a beautiful creation from Zen Butterfly Knits, inspired by the timeless poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. Imagine walking through a serene wood, where two paths diverge, and you have the opportunity to choose your own knitting journey. Will you take the road less traveled with this unique shawl design?
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference.”
— Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken
This knitting pattern presents you with exciting options every step of the way: will you choose one color for a minimalist look or dare to use two colors for a bolder statement? Will you adorn your creation with stunning beads or opt for a more straightforward aesthetic? Do you envision a small kerchief-sized accessory perfect for a light wrap, or would you prefer a larger shawl to wrap yourself in cozy elegance? Each decision makes your shawl truly one of a kind, adding personality and creativity to your knitting experience.
Crafted using the luxurious Zen Yarn Garden's Serenity Silk Single yarn, this shawl captures the essence of sophisticated design.
