This pattern is now free as I’m unable to offer support. I hope you enjoy it.

Arianrhod (pronounced: ah-ree-AN-rod (try and gently trill the “r” a bit like in Spanish) means ‘Silver Wheel’ in Welsh and she is known as a star goddess. A circular shawl inspired by themes associated with her in Celtic mythology, it is worked from the centre out with sections of lace and regular increases using, but not identical to, the pi method for creating circular shawls. The edging is worked sideways and knitted onto the main part of the shawl, so that there is very little finishing to do apart from grafting a few stitches together.

It is given in three sizes with two edgings and is suitable for lace to light fingering weight. An interesting knit for the intermediate knitter used to working lace, although it is not hard since alternate rounds are ‘rest rounds’ of knit only. Suitable for any season depending on the yarn chosen, it would also be lovely as a baby shawl – after all Arianrhod is also known as the ‘mother goddess’.
