Satie is a big, warm hug of a top-down, triangular shawl featuring a uniquely textured lace pattern filled with graceful, undulating lines that may be interpreted to resemble little leaves, hearts, tendrils or even the crests of waves, surrounded by cozy garter stitch. This organic yet modern looking shawl is suitable for both newer lace knitters as well as experienced knitters looking for a relaxing and meditative knit. Pretty tassels are a fun option should you choose to add them.

The organic quality of the lace pattern I used for this shawl is reminiscent of Art Nouveau ironwork and textile design, so I decided to name the shawl after the French composer and pianist Erik Satie, who wrote many of his most sublime piano works during the same era. Links to Satie’s complete piano works are included on the pattern.

Since there is plenty of inherent textural interest in the design, it’s a great pattern to use for a basic, moderately priced solid or heathered yarn. So you can knit up a huge, warm shawl for yourself without breaking the bank, and then make one for a knit-worthy friend too!

The shawl is offered in two sizes—medium (pictured in light purple) and large (pictured in natural and dark blue). Note that the medium size begins with 30 rows of garter stitch whereas the large begins with 54 rows of garter stitch; the design of rest of the shawl is the same for both sizes. Satie’s size may be customized even further by working more/fewer rows of garter at the beginning, more details are included on the pattern.

The Satie pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
