Wildeve Shawl

Introducing Wildeve, a stunning lace weight, crescent-shaped shawl designed to elevate your knitting skills. This intricate pattern comes with both written and charted instructions, catering to different learning styles. The shawl is thoughtfully sectioned to provide a balance between complexity and simplicity, interspersing challenging lacework with easier stitches and short stretches of stocking stitch. This design not only acts as a step up from beginner lace projects but also ensures that you feel accomplished as you master your lace knitting techniques.

Unlike my previous design, which served as an introduction to the art of lace knitting, Wildeve is specifically crafted for those ready to take on a more ambitious challenge. The overall size of the shawl has been increased, and it is worked in a delicate lace weight yarn rather than fingering yarn, allowing for a more dramatic effect. Additionally, Wildeve features an elegant applied lace border that enhances its beauty and complexity.

For my sample, I used just under 800m of yarn, but based on feedback from my dedicated testers, some reported using just over 900m. Therefore, I have provided a wide range for the suggested yardage to suit your knitting preferences—an added bonus for those who prefer to dive straight into their projects without the hassle of knitting a swatch first.

Whether you're looking to enhance your knitting portfolio or create a beautiful accessory to showcase, Wildeve is the perfect next step in your lace knitting journey. Embrace this opportunity to challenge yourself and create a striking shawl that reflects your growing skills!
