Hello, sweet soul! Today, I have an absolutely gorgeous, knitted shawl to tell you all about. I think you’re going to fall in love with the lacy Marguerite shawl, so I hope you’ll keep reading for all the delightful details!
Marguerite was designed by Donielle Oliver Showvay. When asked about the inspiration for her pattern, Donielle said, “Marguerite is a French word meaning ‘daisy.’ This light and airy stole was inspired by the delicate daisies I enjoyed seeing growing wild on the mountainsides in Montana several years ago. This shawl is perfect for draping gently over your shoulders on slightly cooler summer evenings, whether you’re on a special night out or simply a casual walk with a friend. To create the cute, little daisy motifs, extra loose stitches are made and then wrapped in the center. The open lacework between the rows of daisies resembles tiny hearts.”
This is an Intermediate level pattern and is perfect for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. The techniques used are increasing and decreasing, making extra loose stitches for the flower motifs, and wrapping stitches. Video tutorials are included for these techniques.
The Marguerite shawl is knitted with our sumptuous Yak Silk Lace yarn, which is pure luxury! When yak is combined with silk, you get an amazingly soft, lustrous, silky, saturated yarn that is impossible to ignore! Yak Silk Lace is a luscious, 2-ply blend of 50% ultra-soft yak down fiber and 50% lustrous silk. It’s buttery, creamy to the touch, and shimmery with dreamlike softness. Colors dyed onto this yarn base are rich, saturated, and bold. Perfect for sensual, soft shawls, scarves, baby clothes, socks, hats, and whatever you desire! Hold it double for projects requiring a thicker yarn. Projects made with Yak Silk Lace will be adored and treasured for years on end, and it’s loaded with yardage with 680 yds/630 m per skein!
The sample shown here was crocheted with colors Ram Yak Silk Lace (A) and Aries Passion Yak Silk Lace (B) and used approximately 1224 yds/1119 m total (612 yds/ 560 m of each color).
