Mayapple Shawl – Knitting Pattern
This pattern is available for $6.00 USD
Mayapple is a charming wildflower that emerges beneath the forest canopy in early spring. It is a unique-looking plant, with only two large umbrella shaped leaves that rise on single stems above a very cute little white flower with six to eight petals. While walking in the woods earlier this year, I spied a cluster of little mayapples and was inspired to design a shawl with pretty flower and leaf motifs.
The dainty lace pattern I chose for the middle of the shawl body resembles the mayapple flower sheltered by two leaves. The border features a fern and bellflower panel finished with a lacy leaf edging. For the color of the shawl pictured, I looked no further than the bright and cheerful yellow color of the center of the mayapple flower. Mayapple’s shape is an easy-to-wear, elongated semi-circle.
Mayapple is shown in the wonderful Tosh Sock weight yarn but may be knitted in whatever weight you choose. The size is easily customizable by working more or fewer Body Chart 2 repeats. A solid or tonal yarn is highly recommended to showcase the intricacy of the design.
The pattern includes detailed instructions about how to work the various design elements, as well as video links that will walk you though every aspect of the pattern.
