Tra-la, the pattern for the Lotus Shawl is now available on Ravelry!
The Lotus Shawl is a triangular shawl with a lush and dramatic lotus flower lace edging.
The pattern has two versions with different stitches for the shawl body. "Pods" has openwork inspired by the texture of lotus pods. "Waves" has ripples of eyelets, evoking the waves on a lotus pond.
The pattern has line-by-line AND charted instructions for both versions. I'm very pleased with the clean layout and clear directions ....
The shawl knits up in 450 yards of a heavy laceweight or fingering weight yarn. For the pink version ("Waves") I used Henry's Attic Carrera, which is a silk/wool blend with a gorgeous drape and sheen. It comes in an undyed ivory color; I naturally dyed it a light lavender-pink.
The pdf pattern is now available for purchase on Ravelry!

For the white version ("Pods") I used a laceweight woolen spun cormo wool from Elsa Wool Co. It's lofty, sproingy, and delicious.

It's so beautiful. Nice work! Unfortunately, knitting with two little ones tends to make lace knitting quite challenging for me : ) Someday...
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful and unique. I love the clean, simple, peaceful design. The lotus flowers along the edge are wonderful. Very nice. I'm not a lace knitter but I almost think I might be able to do the pink one. It looks like it might not be very difficult. Congratulations on another great pattern.
