Spring Mood with the Verdancy Shawl

I'm very excited to present my fourth shawl design: the Verdancy Shawl. It's a rectangular shawl measuring approximately 48 x 190cm, a very generous size so that you can wrap it around your neck a few times or drape it over your shoulders and let it flow. I think it's lovely for spring with its beautiful green shades and leafy stitch pattern. But of course it'll look fab in different colours too. My tester used a Whirl with purple shades and it looks stunning. She said the stitch pattern in combination with the purple hues reminded her of wisteria blossoms. I'll show you some pictures next time. And next time is next week, when I'll also have the free pattern for you and a PDF pattern for purchase in my Ravelry and Etsy shops that has a few extras like a chart and instructions how to adjust it to any size you like.

Talking of the stitch pattern...... it may look quite intricate, but I can asure you it's a beginner-friendly make and also quite relaxing. It's only a 12-stitch and 6-row pattern repeat, so once you've worked a few rows you'll be able to continue without a lot of counting. And all the colour changes in the Whirl yarn keep it really interesting and they will spur you on to get to that next colour change as fast as possible. Below you'll find some more information on the yarn used.

In my Ravelry and Etsy shops you can purchase a PDF version of this pattern.

The advantages of the PDF version are:

• Clear layout with instructions in bullet-point format
• Stitch Chart
• Instructions how to adjust size
• Close up photos
• Similar graphic design as all of my other PDF patterns
• You support my work so that I can continue to publish free patterns and offer discount codes

Thank you!

Scheepjes Whirl and Whirlette yarn

Have a good look at the gradient yarn. Soft green on one end and a beautiful saturated green at the other end and so many shades in between. The Scheepjes Whirl and Whirlette yarn I used are just ideal for a shawl like this one.
Both yarns are a blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic, which makes for lightweight and breathable shawls, or any wearables really. Whirl is a gradient yarn with a very generous twist so that it works up really quickly and it helps prevent splitting. Whirlette yarn comes in single colours, matching the Whirl shades. 

The shade cards below show all the 54 Whirl yarn cakes and 44 Whirlettes available.
