Weeping Willow Lace Wrap

This beautiful wrap is expertly knitted using the traditional “Shetland Shawl” technique, though it features a unique focal stitch inspired by Estonian design. The stunning stitches resemble the delicate leaves of the weeping willow tree, which is how this lovely piece earned its name. Because this wrap is crafted from heavy fingering weight yarn, or light sport weight yarn, it presents a faster knitting experience compared to your typical shawl pattern. Lace knitting enthusiasts will appreciate that both the wrap stitch and the edging stitch are not overly complex, making this an ideal project for intermediate knitters with a solid understanding of basic knitting techniques.

**Skill Level:** Intermediate (This pattern assumes the knitter has a good working knowledge of knitting, purling, and lace techniques.)

For your convenience, both stitches used in this wrap are provided in chart form as well as written out line by line, ensuring easy navigation through the pattern. You can use any sport weight yarn or heavy fingering weight yarn to create this exquisite shawl. The sample version was beautifully knit using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport, renowned for its quality and vibrant colors.

Whether you’re an experienced crafter looking to expand your lace knitting skills or a passionate knitter eager to create a standout accessory for yourself or a loved one, this wrap is the perfect choice. Enjoy the satisfaction of creating something both functional and artistic, while embracing the elegance of lace knitting.
