Pteridia
When I first saw this stunning silk yarn, an image of lusciously green ferns popped into my mind and I wanted to create a shawl that would reflect the graceful shapes of their leaves.
Pteridia is knitted in two identical halves starting from a center temporary cast on and worked down to the borders. To keep things simple, I worked the main body of the shawl in very easy lace patterns reminiscent of fronds. I then designed the more elaborate lace borders to flow seamlessly from the leaf shapes and as a final touch I added a few beads to mimic dew drops shimmering in the sun light.
The Pteridia pattern is now available as Ravelry download.
