2014 Ravelry Gift-A-Long: Shawls & Stoles

Would you like to have a princess cape or cowl to match your little one’s flowery hat? Ask any little girl and you will hear “Yes, yes, yes!”. And to satisfy your inner girly girl you can make one for yourself too; the capelet sizing goes up to size adult!

Beautiful and classic accessory!

Elegant, delicate and dreamy, casual, or dressy, this shawl features a beautiful lace panel reminiscent of a Tiger Lily flower.

The shawl is a triangle worked from the top down. It is available in three sizes (S, M and L) with suggested yarn amounts and measurements in fingering, sport, DK and worsted yarn weight. Any yarn that can be blocked is suitable for this project. The shawl was knit from silk, linen, wool and wool mixes with good results. Solids and semi-solids are the best for this shawl as variegated yarn would obscure the stitch pattern.

Hunter’s Moon is constructed from tip to tip with a stockinette stitch body and a lace edge that is knit as you go. The lace edge features a row of leaves among a gently curving trellis lace pattern.

Ritter is a triangular shawl worked from the top down. It features an abstract floral lace body with a geometric edging. Worked in a silk and merino blend yarn, it has elegant drape and is a lovely little accessory.

Long Night is a crescent shawl worked from the bottom up. A lacy ruffle along the bottom edge and a stockinette body worked in a worsted weight yarn make this shawl a cozy winter accessory.

Originally released as the second pattern in our WPK Bold Colors of Nature Mini Club Fall 2013. This triangular shawl is inspired by the vibrant colors of the sun setting over a rippling bay.

Monika is my best friend in the whole world - BFITWW as we say. I have known her longer than anyone outside of my family. She is fairy godmother to my daughter and I honestly don’t know where I would be without her. We’ve been best friends since we were 15 and haven’t lived in the same place since we were 16. We have spent years driving or flying to visit each other all over the US. When I moved to Europe a few years ago, we finally got a chance to travel and adventure together and really…

The second in our Graduating Stripes Series, this semi-circular shawl is created with contrasting stripes reminiscent of sonar waves. Similar to Diffraction and Trilinear, but so very different.

I have become slightly obsessed with peacock feathers since I knit the snow peacock by Tonks a few years ago as a wedding present for my sister-in-law. My mom loved it and hinted at every special occasion that she would like a shawl with a peacock motif. I decided to try my hand at designing one specially for her with my own version of a peacock tail, complete with nubs, helixes, leaves, defined beaded feathers, and beaded plumed edging. She loves, loves, loves it and I might be the favorite…
