Annelie’s Autumn Shawl

by Inese Sang

Annelie’s Autumn Shawl is an asymmetrical shawl worked sideways from tip with regular side increases along its left edge. Shawl features a textured panel in a pattern reminiscent of rowan berry twigs, which is separated from the main body of double moss stitch by a gently curving twisted knit column mirroring the curve of the twigs. Shawl is finished with a narrow, applied lace border.

Rowan tree is believed to have a powerful protective energy in Latvian culture and tradition. Up to this day many Latvian households, including ours, hang a twig with rowan berries cluster over the entrance door of their homes to protect its inhabitants from evil and not allowing bad energies enter across the doorstep. The shawl was inspired by this magical, sacred tree and the deep hope that we all stay protected and resilient in these very trying times and beyond.

Each kit contains the yarn you will need to complete your project.

The pattern is not included. 

You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry here.

You can also create your own color combination by choosing your skeins in Baby Yak Lace and Baby Yak | Organic Cotton Kupa Collection

NOTE: on our baby yak colors, we only dye on the natural basis we have, no bleaching or decoloring so depending on the shade of the natural fiber, each color will vary from season to season, making it darker or lighter. This is the beauty of working with natural fiber and so the shade of the sample you see photographed, not always correspond to the shade we have in stock or at your local LYS.
