Winter is Coming Grande
Introducing the Grande or Large version of my beautifully crafted Winter is Coming Shawl, a stunning knitting pattern inspired by the beloved books and TV series, Game of Thrones. Whether you are a dedicated GoT enthusiast or simply a lover of creative knitting, this shawl offers something special for everyone. While some aspects of the series evoke a sense of harshness and cold, the final product is undeniably pretty and feminine, making it a versatile accessory for your wardrobe. This shawl features distinct pattern sections expertly separated by garter ridges, which not only create a visually appealing aesthetic but also provide a cohesive link between each unique section, drawing the entire design together flawlessly.
Inspiration from the series:
Wall Section: Reflecting the ever-present threat looming beyond the Wall, this segment serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by characters in the narrative.
Snow: With winter as a central theme throughout both the series and the books, I wanted to incorporate a delicate section that captures the essence of falling snowflakes, representing the chilling beauty of winter.
Waves: As a nod to the lands across the sea and the Iron Islands, the wave section elegantly portrays the fluidity and strength of the ocean, adding depth to the shawl's overall design.
Dragon Scales: Inspired by Daenerys and her fierce dragons, this section captures the majestic and powerful essence of these mythical creatures through intricate stitch work.
Stakes and Icicles: The final touch in this captivating shawl represents the brutal realities of war, with spears, stakes, and swords all intricately woven together. The shawl culminates in beautiful icicle points, serving as a poignant reminder that while the characters vie for the Iron Throne, the true existential threat lies in the perils that await beyond the Wall.
As you embark on this knitting adventure, you’ll not only enjoy creating a timeless piece but also embrace the rich storytelling and vibrant themes that connect us all to the world of Westeros. Dive into your next knitting project with the Winter is Coming Shawl and showcase your love for crafting with this unique and feminine design perfect for every season.
