Willow Tree Shawl

Welcome to our stunning shawl pattern featuring a beautifully intricate design that showcases an old tree with sprawling roots and a lush canopy of branches. This exquisite piece is ideal for those looking to create a unique knit accessory, combining various stitches in a captivating way. The tree section, located on the back of the shawl, is crafted using a series of cable stitches that may initially appear complex when viewing the chart or written instructions. However, once you begin, the pattern will easily come together, making the process both enjoyable and rewarding.

To add a touch of elegance, I chose an Estonian lace pattern for the leaves, specifically featuring graceful willow leaves. This stunning shawl is knitted in three distinct parts to enhance your crafting experience. The first part focuses on the tree chart, which should be completed at the outset. For this project, I opted for a contrasting color for the tree; however, you can use a single color throughout the entire shawl if you prefer a more uniform look. If you decide to incorporate two colors, you will need approximately 100 yards of lace weight yarn for the tree section, along with about 1000 yards for the beautiful wings of the shawl.

The second and third sections of the shawl are dedicated to the sides of the tree, where the leaf pattern truly shines. This pattern is thoughtfully provided in both charted and written formats, ensuring that you have the flexibility to choose the reference that suits you best. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just beginning your journey, this shawl pattern will challenge your skills while resulting in a breathtaking piece that you will be proud to wear or gift to a loved one.
