Wetlands: Topography Collection
Discover “The Topography Collection: Exploring Landscapes,” a unique series of original shawl designs that celebrate the diverse and beautiful aspects of our natural world. Among these stunning designs, “Wetlands” stands out as a captivating tribute to the rich features of marshy areas, inspired by map symbols that represent these vibrant landscapes.
The “Wetlands” shawl showcases basic short rows paired with a unique, simple texture stitch that mimics the intricacies of nature. This design incorporates basic increases to create an elegant crescent shape, making it a perfect accessory for any season. A special highlight of this pattern is the decorative swamp-grass stitch, which is thoroughly explained in an included tutorial complete with clear step-by-step photos and detailed written instructions, ensuring that knitters of all levels can master this beautiful technique.
This shawl is designed using DK 8ply yarn in three distinctive colors, allowing for a striking visual appeal. However, it can just as easily be created with a single main background color accentuated with contrasting details for a more dramatic effect. For those who prefer a subtler approach, working the design entirely in one color enables the texture and structure alone to effortlessly showcase its beauty.
Included with the pattern are both charted and written instructions: the first three sections are fully charted, complemented by comprehensive written instructions. The remaining sections continue in a similar clear style, presented with row-by-row written instructions to guide you seamlessly through the project. You will need 4mm needles and three 100g skeins of DK yarn to bring this exquisite design to life.
Embrace the artistry of knitting and the beauty of nature with the “Wetlands” shawl pattern from The Topography Collection. Perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful gift, this shawl is sure to be a cherished addition to any wardrobe.
