Wildfire

Introducing the beautiful **Wildfire Lace Shawl**, a stunning knitting pattern that features a unique honeycomb mesh design, gracefully transitioning into intricate, textured lace. This shawl is not only a visual delight but also a meaningful project, as it was inspired by the wildfires in Australia during the summer of 2019/20, created by the talented **Naomi Parkhurst** as a constructive outlet during a challenging time.

The **Wildfire Shawl** is incredibly versatile, allowing knitters to customize its size in several ways. You can increase the number of wedges to form a fuller semi-circle or extend the honeycomb portion for additional length. This delightful design pairs perfectly with lace or fingering yarns, whether you prefer solid, semi-solid, gradient, or subtly speckled colors. By adjusting the number of wedges, you can achieve a more rounded shape, and you also have the flexibility to vary the depth of the shawl to suit your style.

**Yardage requirements** for the Wildfire Lace Shawl are flexible, making it accessible for many different yarn options. You'll need a minimum of approximately **500 meters (550 yards)** of lace to fingering weight yarn, but if you choose to add extra wedges or repeats, you could use up to **1000 meters**. Remember, your needle size will depend on your chosen yarn weight and your personal gauge preferences.

This knitting pattern caters to different skill levels and can be worked entirely from clear, detailed written instructions, or you may opt to use the provided charts with helpful notes. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just beginning your journey, the **Wildfire Lace Shawl** is a rewarding project that will elevate your knitting skills.

Many thanks to **Sabine Von Schafgabe** for her contributions to this pattern. Embrace creativity and warmth with the **Wildfire Lace Shawl**, and add a striking piece to your wardrobe that tells a story of resilience and beauty.
