On Sale

Wilshire is a top-down triangular shawl inspired by the classic Art Deco architecture of Los Angeles—particularly on Wilshire Boulevard—which captivated me when I lived there in the 1990s. The bold geometric forms of chevrons, diamonds and zig zags characteristic of Art Deco design have been incorporated into the wide border of the shawl, with diamond bands breaking up the sleek stockinette sections of the shawl body.
Wilshire is offered in one generous size, worked in lace weight yarn. Note that the nature of the design does not lend itself to size customization, but for a larger shawl than the pattern size, the design may be worked in fingering or sport weight on larger needles. A solid, tonal or subtly variegated yarn is recommended to showcase the intricacy of the border design. Detailed blocking instructions are included, as well as an additional page of lace knitting tips for newer lace knitter.
Wilshire is offered as a chart-only pattern with large, easy-to-read charts and detailed instructions about how to use them.
