Forest Light Shawl
Glimpses of gold on a dark green background: as soon as I saw this yarn, it reminded me of the late afternoon sun trying to peep through the branches of a majestic pine forest. The smell of warm resin, the fading bird chatter, the rustling sound of dry needles under your feet: create yourself a cosy cocoon with this light and elegant shawl.
This pattern contains only 5 purl stitches every 12 rows!
The lace pattern has both a chart and written instructions. It is suitable for the moderate beginner in lace knitting.
Size
Your finished shawl will measure about 175 cm/69 inch by 32 cm/12.5 inch, depending on yarn and needle choice, and amount of pattern repeats.
Yarn
Holst Garn Supersoft, colour no. 077 ‘Holly’, or Trollenwol Supersoft, shade ‘Holly’, about 690 meters/754 yards
Or any other light fingering weight yarn of approximately the same yardage
Needles and notions
- 3mm/US2,5 (if you prefer knitting with a circular needle, a 80cm/32in will do)
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Happy knitting!
