The stunning leaf and diamond geometry of the stitch
pattern used in RosyPosy Designs' Forgotten Garden top-down shawl
reminded me of an intricate garden hedge maze, such as the one described in
Kate Morton’s engrossing novel, The Forgotten Garden. Three sizes
are given; the size can also be adjusted by changing yarn weight and needle
size (adjust yardage accordingly) or by changing the number of half-repeats
worked.
Skill level: Intermediate to Advanced. Due to the length
of the stitch pattern repeat, only charted instructions are provided. The
lace stitches are worked only on right side rows; they are not technically
difficult but do require concentration.
SIZES: Small (Medium, Large)
APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS (after blocking) 46 (54, 61)
inches wide x 22 (26, 31) inches deep
YARN: Sport weight, Red large sample used Biscotte & Cie La Douce, color:
Cherry Baby, 2 skeins. Small brown sample used Madelinetosh pashmina,
color: Violin, 1 skein (note almost the entire skein was used, with little
to spare).
NEEDLES: US 5 (3.75mm)
GAUGE: 22 sts = 4" in stockinette stitch
