Hello, my sweet sunbeam! I have an amazing treat to share with you today! It’s a stunning, lacy shawl that is perfect for cool summer nights and moments when you want to add a touch of elegance and luxury to your look. Keep reading to learn all about today’s lovely, knitted shawl pattern!
Lupine Forest was designed by Donielle Oliver Showvay. When asked about this pattern, Donielle said, “Inspired by my honeymoon trip to Alaska about two years ago, this shawl recalls the divine purple lupine flowers, the sweeping green spruce and pine trees, the unforgettable blue glaciers, and the deep bottomless blue of the ocean. These beautiful features found in the vast, open wilderness of Alaska were the most memorable to me, and I wanted to create something that would forever commemorate this amazing adventure.”
“Delicate, floral lace combines with the textural lines of faux cable to create this beautiful accessory. With the delicacy of the linen fibers, slightly shiny glow of silk, and added warmth of alpaca, this lightweight shawl with its generous size will wrap you in luxury.”
This Advanced level pattern is perfect for the experienced knitter who is familiar with lace knitting using yo, k2tog, and ssk. Other techniques include knitting into stitches five rows below, double centered decreases, and right leaning increases. Careful attention to stitch count is important, and use of stitch markers is recommended, especially during the Glacier Stripes.
Lupine Forest is shown here in our Limited Edition Signature Fingering yarn, which is a soft and breathable blend of 30% linen, 30% mulberry silk, and 40% baby alpaca. The linen fiber in each colorway is dyed in our signature aqua blue color, which ties all of the shades together, while the other fibers are dyed in complementary colors. This collection is meant to symbolize our journey as a company. Things may shift and change, but like the linen running throughout the skeins, we strive to stay true to our values of positivity, joy, and the pursuit of constant improvement. Signature Fingering is a lovely, 3-ply yarn with a delightful drape and subtle, heathered colors and 448 yds/410 m per skein.
The sample shown here was made with one skein each of colors: A) Infinite Potential, B) Soulful Journey, C) Authentic Self, and D) Radiant Hope. We used approximately 1291 yds total: A) 242 yds, B) 430 yds, C) 332 yds, and D) 287 yds / 1180 m total: A) 221 m, B) 393 m, C) 304 m, and D) 262 m.
