Looks more like the ocean to me.
Pattern: Woodland Shawl, a free pattern by Nikol Lohr
On Ravelry: Pattern page, Project page
Yarn: Sleeping Dragon Handpainted Sock Yarn, colorway “Pool”, 1 skein
Needles: 4 mm (US 6)
Modifications: Only cast on 65 stitches as I wanted a wide scarf rather than a short shawl.
Finished dimensions are about 10.5″ wide and 48″ long.
This was a great travel/carry-around project, because it was an easy lace pattern to memorize and knit.
Even though there’s clearly a right and wrong side, the wrong side is pretty, too.
I like the scalloped edges along the sides of the scarf, although they don’t really stay blocked out very well in this soft merino yarn. But it’s very soft and pretty, so I don’t mind.
Cabled Sheep lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she enjoys knitting, cooking, and munching veggies out of the garden. She never tires of Utah's glorious landscape.
Wow, pretty! But it looks like peacock butts to me.
That is really lovely. You find the best patterns and yarns to work with.
It’s truly gorgeous after being blocked out! Very nice!!
Wow, that is beautiful, and from only one skein, cool.
Gorgeous! It does look like the ocean… so calm, so soothing…
Oooh, that’s so pretty! Beautifully done, Cheryl.
Or like the sky… lovely!
Beeeee-U-TEEE-ful! I’ve looked at that several times and I think it’s been on and off my queue more times than I can count. It does look ocean-y. I bet I can find some pretty autumnal themed yarn in my stash for it. Hmmmmm… maybe silky wool?
It does look ocean-y. And forest-y. And now, thanks to Carrie, pecock butt-y.
But mostly prett-y.
That is so pretty! I’m in love with that color.
Awesome! What a fun scarf to wear!
That’s perfect! I’ve been looking for a shawl pattern to do with some sock yarn I scored – thanks for the pattern idea!
Really, really pretty!
It’s lovely! The wrong side looks really cool, I’m glad you photographed it that way.
That is a stunning scarf. Good match of yarn and pattern and colorway.
