Petal Path is a light and airy shawl inspired by rows of delicate white petals. This pattern is an updated version of my older Lavender Path shawl and now includes two edging options:

• the original lace edging
• and a simple plain edging for a more casual look.

The pattern also includes instructions for working the same stitch pattern in a rectangular form, which can be made into a scarf, stole, blanket, or a swatch to practice the technique.

TECHNIQUE
Lover’s Knot in traditional crochet is typically treated as a standalone element used to create floating lace mesh or worked decoratively in small sections.

In my designs, I incorporate it into the crocheted fabric itself and treat it as a replacement for chain spaces.

This changes the look of the fabric and creates a gentler, more filled-in appearance, as the elongated strands of the Lover’s Knots visually soften empty areas and feel much airier and more delicate than simple chains.

This technique is also used in the following designs: Thistle Field shawl, Lavender Path shawl, Floral Bubbles shawl, Sun Powder top, and Honey Weather scarf.

You can adjust the size of your shawl by simply working fewer or more row repeats of the stitch pattern.

I create new crochet stitches to show a quieter, softer side of crochet: calm, simple, and casual. My patterns may look unusual at first only because the technique is new to you, just like your first chain or single crochet once was. After a little practice, it feels easy and natural.
