Lord of the Wings
The fall is fast approaching and as the leaves turn golden brown and the air begins to cool, what better way to celebrate this wonderful season than with the elegant Lord of the Wings? The Lord of the Wings combines some eye-catching feather-boa like flare with the functionality of the savvy shawl wearer! As the Fahrenheit begins to fade, Lord of the Wings will keep you cosy and snug, warm enough to enjoy the amazing sunsets of autumn.
Lord of the Wings is knitted with two contrasting yarns. You can use two solids or two semi solids, a color gradient combined with a solid, or even two color gradients. Or choose a variegated yarn like Wollmeise Pure and pair it with a solid that is part of the color spectrum of your variegated yarn. You can also knit Lord of the Wings with just one very long color gradient, but for this you will need two balls. I used two balls of Wollbonbon Merino 4ply (www.wollbonbon.de) and started at opposite ends.
Lord of the Wings is originally designed for fingering weight, but you can use any yarn weight you like as there are four sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large. You don’t need to knit a swatch to define which size you want to knit, as they all start the same. You can decide on the go which size will be perfect for your yarn. I used two balls of Wollbonbon Merino 4ply, Crocus, (500yards/460m each) for one version knitted in large. I knitted another with Zauberball and XL Kleckse by Schoppel and used 4oz/110 gram of each for the large version. You can knit the medium version with one ball of each yarn.
Lord of the Wings is a modular knit, but there will be no seaming involved. You will join the modules as you go. Several techniques will be required but you will find these explained with helpful photo tutorials at the end of the pattern. All instructions are written and charted and you will graphics to guide you through the knitting process.
Happy Knitting,
Ursa Major
