Meadowlight is a light, joyful nod (and a sunny wink) to the humble marsh marigolds - small, bright yellow flowers scattered along the water’s edge resembling tiny clusters of star constellations.
With its traditional shape, and structured, minimal lace, Meadowlight is a more classical and elegant older sister of the Meadow duo.

Designed as a quick and mood-boosting knit, it offers two sizes, with the basic mini shawlette requiring just one skein (270yds/ 248m) of a light fingering weight wool of Biches & Bûches Le Petit Lambswool or any other yarn equivalent. I wanted to create a light yet simple lace design, a breezy project that takes minimal yardage and effort to make, yet is so compelling and fun to knit, you can’t stop at just one.

CONSTRUCTION
Meadowlight is a traditional top-down triangle shawl starting with a Garter Tab Cast-On and proceeding with slightly irregular yet proportionally placed increases along its wingspan and central spine to obtain the final shallow, slightly curved shape. Pattern comprises of eyelet lace columns trickling down the body of the shawl, interrupted by sections of lace grids featuring simple eyelet flowers. The cast-off edge is finished in Folded Picot Edge for a whimsy and light feel.

The pattern includes full row-by-row written instructions and is fully charted, which means you do not have to consult row-by-row instructions, if you wish to work from the charts only.

TECHNIQUES USED
Basic lace stitches, folded picot edge (secured by sewing), embroidery.
