This lace design was inspired by the intricate artwork created by nature in spring. Delicate shapes of new leaves and buds unfurl everywhere, bringing welcome flashes of brilliant greens to the monochrome winter landscape. This beautiful lace pattern, full of flowing curves and interesting textures, is reminiscent of nature’s verdant artwork - the lace pattern is charted and has written row-by-row instructions.

The stole is worked simply, from edge to edge, in full lace pattern, beginning and ending with ribbing that flows seamlessly from the lace motifs. The shawl is worked with eyelet edgings, which can be used for blocking wires. The increases and decreases of this lace pattern are worked on right side and wrong side rows, and even though the wrong side stitches are simple and intuitive, some experience with basic lace knitting would be best for this project.

The Grey Sheep Co’s Hampshire 4 ply is a scrumptious lofty yarn that blooms wonderfully with blocking and the natural wool improves with each wear.

Originally available only through the Knitrino app, Verdant Stole is now available directly through Ravelry.

Knitrino works like a magazine publishing curated pattern collections for a limited time, after which the rights revert to the designer. This pattern is no longer available in Knitrino.

Knitrino is a newly launched technology created by two sisters publishing interactive patterns. Knitrino is like Google Maps for knitting patterns: Click a stitch to see how to do it, highlight your current place, track your progress step by step, see charts in your yarn colors, see only your size, and more. Knitrino’s goal is to make knitting more accessible, and to help people grow into the knitters they aspire to be! This innovative app is for knitters longing for better pattern usability and navigation using small screens. There is no PDF associated with this pattern. It is available in both iOS and Android, download at:

Apple App Store
Play Store

What knitters are saying

“Wendy: Keeping track and following a pattern in Knitrino is effortless in a way I didn’t know I was missing till I had it.”

McKenzie: “I am super impressed with Knitrino. I thought working from an app would feel cumbersome, but instead it has made my usual pattern placekeeping system on paper seem cumbersome.”

Michelle: “I never want to knit another pattern that’s not in Knitrino ever again.”

We know Knitrino isn’t for everyone. We are a small indie production of quality, curated patterns, like a magazine. You cannot import PDFs (there are good tools for this already). Because of the nature of our interactive tools each pattern is lovingly built by us and takes countless hours to create. We are aiming to uplift the creative work of indie designers and pay them generously upfront, about twice what most magazines pay. Please reach out to us with any questions support@knitrino.com
