The Lake of Nine serves as the main hub for gameplay in the video game God of War (2018). From this lake a player begins nearly every adventure in the game, even accessing different realms! The Lake of Nine Shawl is named after this central area in God of War, and its unique shape is inspired by one of the game’s Runes. Keen eyed makers will notice that when turned sideways, the lace panels in this shawl reveal the Roman Numeral for the number nine.

The Lake of Nine Shawl uses sport weight yarn (you can easily substitute fingering weight yarn for a lighter shawl!). This is an intermediate level pattern, using lace crochet techniques, as well as increasing and decreasing.

This pattern includes:

• Detailed Photos
• Schematic
• Written Instructions with stitch counts provided at the end of each row
• A stitch/row counter for each section so that it’s easy to keep track of your place
