Three Skein Shawl Knitting Pattern - Rose Garden Shawl

Kits are available for the Rose Garden shawl

This pattern is also available to purchase on Ravelry

It’s only been over the past couple of years or so that I have discovered the joys of gardening. I still have a lot to learn but watching the seeds and bulbs grow each year bringing with them an abundance of colour is such a lovely sight.

The Rose Garden shawl was inspired by my climbing roses coming back to life after a cold winter. Watch as the different stitch patterns start to grow with flower and leaf motifs blooming against trellis shaped diamonds.

The shawl uses 3 skeins of 4 ply yarn. I would suggest using solid or semi-tonal shades for the flower and leaf lace sections; however, the diamond shapes can take a lightly variegated yarn. All 3 skeins combine to create a large, drapey shawl that you can wrap yourself in over winter, with those lacy flowers being a reminder that summer will soon come around again.

The pattern is written and charted and has been professionally tech edited and test knitted prior to publication. It includes written and charted instructions.
