Parisian Links
It’s so easy to be inspired by Paris. Over the years I’ve been taken in by the city’s landmarks, the architecture, and the ever-present sense of style.
In particular, I’ve formed a mental image of how the Seine River links the landmarks, and thought that would be the perfect theme for my newest project.
This design is for a top-down, heart-shaped, oversized bandana/shawl. The top and bottom sections are knit in lace patterns that evoke the architectural similarities of the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Pyramids. The middle area is a section of lace stitching representing the Seine River and its bridges (with beads interspersed in the borders).
The beads include 3-4mm, 3-sided sterling silver beads and 8mm translucent cathedral crystal beads with gold and blue/green highlights.
In addition, I’ve inserted a narrow transition area, in a third stitch pattern (in the first color, Emerald, bordered with the second color, Emerald Blue).
The yarn is a luxury Malabrigo Lace Baby Merino, and the pattern requires 1 50g skein of Emerald and 1 50g skein of Emerald Blue. The architectural elements and transition will be knit in Emerald and the river and bridges in Emerald Blue.
Measurements: 56 inches (142 cm) across the top line; 47 inches (120 cm) at the widest point; 27 inches (68.5 cm) from top line to bottom point
Note that a new version was released on Jan 13, 2019 and sent to all those who had purchased the original pattern.
Single color variation:
The final photo shows the shawl worked in a single color, without beads (WYS Exquisite lace-weight yarn).
