The Natura Waves Shawl is an intermediate pattern, featuring colourful, lacy stripes and an intricate wavy lace pattern at the bottom, that looks more difficult than it is. An i-cord edge gives the project a beautiful, professional-looking finish.

It was designed for yarn by de Draadzaak, a Dutch Indie handdyer. The colour combinations were inspired by nature. The ocean, leaves in the wind, the clouds during a sunset.

Naturally, the 3 colour palettes are:

Azura – A wavy hug of sky and sea

Verdora – The quiet in the woods, caught in soft threads

Solara – Glowing warmth, like a dancing sunset

The pattern can be purchased as part of a kit on www.earthyarns.com but can also be used as a standalone for any Light Fingering yarn you have in your stash. You will need just under 800 meters in total to knit this shawl.

Skills required:

• Picking up stitches

• yo, k2tog

• increases, decreases

The pattern has both a chart and written instructions.
