Imagine strolling through the woods on a well-kept trail. A brook babbles somewhere near. Bright sunlight filters through the treetops, dancing across your face and scattering across the smooth path. Richly colored leaves fill the trees. A fresh cool breeze sweeps a few leaves from the branches and swirls them around you, sending goosebumps across your skin.
Thankfully, you brought along your most recent finished object, the light yet warm and cozy Mizu Shawlette.
This simple and sophisticated one-skein wonder project works up in sections of stockinette, divided by a fine line of slip stitches for textural and visual interest. At the edge, a delicate and airy lace pattern resembles water dripping off leaves after a summer storm.
Due to the simplicity of the design, the pattern works well with colorful and busy colorways and by using the slip stitches as a guiding point, can also be used with gradient yarns. However, it truly shines with semisolid or solid colorways. And you only need one 400 to 440-yard (350-420m) skein of fingering weight yarn, so this dreamy piece is perfect for that special skein you’ve been saving.
Cast on and continue dreaming with the Mizu Shawlette….
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.”
– Lord Byron, Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, 1818
