Ua Shawl

Pay What Works: In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I and others provide in the making of this pattern. The price shown on Ravelry is the “true” value of the pattern that best reflects the work put into creating this design.

The Ua Shawl has to be one of my favorite designs to date. It features many of my favorite design elements: top-down construction, crescent shaping, textured slip stitch pattern, and an intricate lace stitch pattern for the main motif. But what is new about this design, which makes it stand out from the rest, is the inclusion of the short-row lace technique (developed by Sylvia Bo of Softsweater Knits).

This technique is not only fun to work with, but the final results are spectacular. It gives the shawl dynamic, fluid movement, and elegant, sophisticated grace. As I design patterns, I think to myself: is the final project going to be wearable, and am I going to want to wear it? This shawl gets a resounding YES from me. And I hope you feel the same way too!

The short-row lace technique and theme for the shawl were used with permission from Sylvia.
