Mystic Waters Lace Shawl

On December 12, 2007, in lace, Mystic Waters, pattern, shawl, by Anna


Have you ever found yourself staring into a deep ocean pondering the mysteries beneath the surface?
Or swam in a dark lake at sunset?
Do you feel the lightness of the summer rain?
Water has many forms and faces, and yet they are all the same – simple H2O.

The Mystic Waters Shawl is inspired by water in its many forms. The main motif suggests a waterfall and the frothy bubbles where the waterfall hits the lake. Above the waterfall we have a few rows of snowflakes – the unique winter form of water.
Surrounding the waterfall are patterns of pouring rain, and the edging is reminiscent of frost flowers on the windows at wintertime.

The pattern allows for two sizes of the shawl. The original size uses 1200 m of Fårö yarn from Klippan (600 m per 100 g), and has a height of 128 cm (50″) , and a width of 250 cm (98″).
The small size of the shawl has a height of 97 cm (“), and a width of 180 cm and uses approx. 750 m of yarn.

This pattern is available in .pdf format for $8.00 CDN.

Mystic Waters is spread over three files. The Instructions contain the beginning and finishing instructions. All the charts are in MysticWatersShawl.pdf If you should decide to make the smaller version of the shawl, there is a special chart for that in MysticWatersSmallSize. Instructions for that are also included in the instructions-file.
