Culpeper Shawl– Knitting Pattern
Culpeper is a top-down, half pi shawl with a knitted-on border. The design was inspired by the beautiful countryside of the Virginia Piedmont region as well as the Blue Ridge Mountains. Culpeper is filled with fun-to-knit lace patterns that evoke images of some of the plants native to the region such as oak ferns, wild blueberries and roses, and red maple and elm trees.
While dimensions and yardage are provided for fingering weight, Culpeper could also be worked in any weight you choose. Solid or tonal yarn is recommended in order to show off the design to its best advantage. The size may be easily increased up to a 68” (173 cm) wingspan by working additional repeats of the final leaf pattern before the border. The pattern includes detailed directions for the knitted-on border and step-by-step blocking notes.
