Wilshire Shawlette– Knitting Pattern
Wilshire is a contemporary lace top-down triangular shawl inspired by the classic Art Deco architecture of Los Angeles, particularly on Wilshire Boulevard, that captivated me when I lived there a few years ago. The bold geometric forms of chevrons, diamonds and zig zags which are characteristic of Art Deco design have been incorporated into the wide border of the shawl, with diamond bands breaking up the stockinette sections of the shawl body.
Wilshire is offered in one generous size, worked in lace weight yarn. Note that the nature of the design does not lend itself to size customization, but for a larger shawl than the pattern size, the design may be worked in fingering or sport weight on larger needles. A solid, tonal or subtly variegated yarn is recommended to showcase the intricacy of the border design.
