I found this yarn that was too hard to resist. It reminded me of a vineyard in the rain, although I’m not sure why!

So I bought 1-100g ball of Wollelfe Merino Fingering in the Bordeaux gradient and started designing a pattern to go along with it.

At the top center you’ll find raindrops, and then through the body of the shawl lots of vineyard leaves, beginning with the bordeaux color and finishing off with a light rose - as a result of the rain!

There’s a background of purl stitches on the right side, with some additional raindrops at the tips of the topline.

If you have some basic lace knitting experience you should have no trouble with the pattern and end up with a lovely accessory.
