Sometimes the yarn comes first! I found this yarn (on Etsy!) that was too hard to resist. It reminded me of a vineyard in the rain, although I’m not sure why!
So I bought a 100-gram ball of Wollelfe merino fingering weight yarn in the Bordeaux gradient and started designing a pattern to go along with it.
At the top center of Vineyard Rain you’ll find raindrops, and then through the body of the shawl lots of vineyard leaves, beginning with the bordeaux color and finishing off with a light rose – as a result of the rain!
There’s a background of purl stitches on the right side of the shawl, with some additional raindrops at the tips of the topline.
If you have some basic lace knitting experience you should have no trouble with the pattern and end up with a lovely accessory.
The shawl measures 23 x 48 x 52 inches / 58.5 x 122 x 132 cm.
The pattern is available on Ravelry and the shawl is for sale on Etsy.
Happy knitting!
