Introducing….my new Twin Leaf Crescent Shawl.
I designed this for Black Trillium Fibre Studio’s Q1 2016 Knit Along. It’s knit with Melanie’s gorgeous Lilt Sock gradient yarn, 85% Superwash Merino, 15% Mulberry silk. This yarn is heavenly to knit with, and the drape and hand of the knitted fabric is amazing. Beads are optional, but highly recommended, for additional drape and sparkle.
This shawl is knit in the periwinkle colorway, five gradient shades of the loveliest blue-purple. The gradient kit is 165g, 675 yards, which makes a lovely large shawl that you can get cozy in. You’ll want to check out all the available colors; I had a hard time choosing.
The leaves on the lower edge…
are echoed at the top of the shawl. A ribbon of shell lace is set off by a garter stitch frame.
The pattern is available exclusively through Black Trillium Fibres for the KAL that runs from January 1 to March 31, 2016. Check out the Ravelry page for info on the KAL, or the Black Trillium Fibres page for more info on ordering the yarn and pattern. Fun and prizes await. Treat yourself in the new year!

Great use of color shifts and pattern design.
Thank you! I have really fallen in love with gradient yarns, both the mini skeins and the single long color shift. So pretty!

Beautiful! The beads add a nice sparkle!
The other Dee says “gorgeous” and I wish I could knit. I thought of getting great big needles and trying to make a scarf or something. Thanks for responding to my blog, Happy holidays to you and yours. D
That truly is one of the prettiest things I’ve seen. It looks soft and the size is big enough to snuggle in. It is gorgeous! 🙂
