Woodland Animals Shawl

Discover the enchanting world of knitting with our beautifully designed shawl featuring sweet woodland animals that leap into view against an ever-changing floral brocade pattern. This delightful shawl is not just a visual treat; it's a joyous journey of creativity as you knit your way through an array of charming animals!

Yes, this is a large shawl, perfect for wrapping up in warmth and style! However, if you're looking for a more compact version, you can easily work it up in a smaller yarn or adjust to a smaller gauge. Additionally, this versatile pattern can be transformed into a cozy throw-sized blanket, ideal for toddlers or as an accent to your home décor. Simply use about 2/3 of the yarn and omit the mirrored half of the design to create a lovely square blanket, measuring around 4x4 ft.

This pattern is available in two captivating colorways: the first utilizes Capra DK yarn, while the second showcases the rich hues of Wool of the Andes Sport. Each colorway comes with its own detailed set of charts, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience.

To tackle this wonderful project, you should be comfortable with basic knitting techniques such as working knit and purl stitches, stranded colorwork, and picking up stitches. Please note that this pattern features some longer floats, so it's not ideal for beginners in colorwork. When managing these longer floats, remember to pause and check in to ensure you haven't pulled the floating yarn too tightly, maintaining the design's overall beauty.

Embrace your creativity with this remarkable knitting project that not only enhances your skills but also results in a stunning, functional piece for your wardrobe or home. Start knitting your woodland adventure today!
