Alquemie Shawl – Knitting Pattern
Alquemie is the medieval French spelling of alchemy—the seemingly magical process of transformation or creation. The stitch patterns of both the scalloped border and the eyelet lace body are completely reversible, allowing the cowl to transform into many different looks depending on how you choose to drape it around the neck and which side you decide is “up.” The main section evokes a sea of interlocking rings on one side while magically appearing as a traditional basketweave stitch on the other, so it can look like a completely different cowl from one day to the next! And the border may be positioned to display the pretty textured scallops along the top or bottom edge for a feminine, dressy look, or may be folded under and hidden for a more casual look.
