Nadira Shawl– Knitting Pattern
Nadira means “rare” or “precious” in Persian, two words that aptly describe the wonder that is lace knitting. I have always loved Persian carpets. The artistry required to create these intricate works of art is mind boggling, to say the least. Because I used the structure of these carpets as an inspiration for this design, I thought it fitting that it should have a beautiful Persian name. The infinity sign motifs on the border represent the infinite number of lace designs made possible by the mathematical pairing of yarn overs and decreases that–like magic–turns plain knitted fabric into exquisite lace.
Nadira is a lace top-down triangular shawl which was designed to be knitted with lace weight yarn, although fingering weight would certainly be appropriate to use as well. Nadira is offered as a 20-page pattern with large, easy-to-read charts and detailed instructions on how to use them. It is a very bohemian design, equally perfect to wear with jeans or dresses, tied around your waist or slung casually around your shoulders.
