Whinfell

Once upon a time, I found myself with some unique handspun yarn that just couldn't decide what it wanted to be when it grew up. It tried on numerous knitting patterns, but none seemed to fit just right! Frustrated yet inspired, I decided to create a new pattern that perfectly suited this special yarn, and thus, Whinfell was born.

Currently, I’m on a delightful Hap kick, aiming to transform this handspun yarn into a stunning shawl that showcases its beautiful qualities. I eagerley cast on and let my creativity flow, allowing the mood of the yarn to guide my knitting journey.

The Whinfell shawl features a classic garter stitch triangle design that forms its body, providing a cozy and elegant feel. To finish off this shawl beautifully, I used an icord bind-off, which gives it a polished and sophisticated edge. In true traditional Shetland style, I then picked up stitches to create a stunning border that enhances the overall design.

However, I took a delightful detour from tradition by incorporating a gorgeous cable and lace pattern into the border. This unique detail elegantly frames the simple garter stitch center, creating a wonderful contrast that elevates the shawl’s visual appeal.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking for an engaging project, the Whinfell shawl pattern is perfect for showcasing your own handspun or prized yarns. Embrace your creativity and join me on this artistic knitting adventure as you bring a little whimsy to your wardrobe!
