Willowind
Introducing Willowind, an exquisite and easy-to-follow top-down crescent shawl pattern designed for knitters of all skill levels. This adaptable design features a simple linear lace that beautifully enhances both bright or variegated yarns as well as subtler tones, making it a versatile addition to your knitting repertoire. Whether you’re looking for a stunning showcase piece or a cozy accessory, Willowind fits the bill perfectly.
Optional beading adds a touch of elegance, allowing you to customize your shawl further. With sizing that is completely adjustable, you have the freedom to start the lace as early as you like—or even alternate between plain sections and lace as you desire. Knit until you run out of your favorite yarn, ensuring that each piece is uniquely your own!
Inspired by the enchanting themes of 'The Wind in the Willows' and my mother’s cherished blue willow china, this lace pattern evokes the graceful beauty of willow trees. The minimal and easy-to-memorize repeat means you’ll enjoy the knitting process without stress. Plus, the versatile plain sections can be knitted in either stockinette or garter stitch and are suitable for a range of yarn weights, from delicate lace to snuggly sport weight.
The Willowind pattern is thoughtfully crafted to accommodate all knitting preferences, as it is provided in both written and charted formats for your convenience. Whether you're a visual learner or prefer written instructions, you'll find everything you need to create a lovely shawl.
**Important Update (ETA 16/7/14):** We have made a slight alteration to the pattern’s name to enhance searchability and make it easier for you to find this beautiful design. Dive into your next knitting adventure with Willowind and create a masterpiece that you'll treasure for years to come!
