Light and lovely, this triangular-shaped lace knit shawl with extra length in the wings was knit with luxurious Cascade Yarns Alpaca Lace.

Arbors and Vines Rectangular Lace Knit Wrap – in Linen and Wool

I’m particularly interested in geometric shapes that represent nature. This lace knit wrap features a center panel of a repeating arbor lace stitch pattern surrounded by a Turkish faggoting stitch, and edged on both sides with a stylized leafy vine stitch pattern.

The inspiration for the design came as I was walking through a formal garden in Europe last year.

The wrap was hand knit by me in a luxurious blend of linen and wool and is a perfect weight for year-round wear. The color is called Citrine.

It is rectangular in shape and measures 17×62” (43.2×157.5cm).

If you’d like to purchase this item, it’s available in my Etsy shop.

Thanks for looking,
MikeH
