The Aegean Sea Shawl Knitting Pattern

I’m very happy to announce the release of my latest shawl knitting pattern called Aegean Sea which has been published today. The Aegean Sea shawl knitting pattern has quite a history, so grab a glass of wine and hear my story.

Intentionally planned as crescent shawl with center panels, blocking told me totally off. Surprise of the month!

The Aegean Sea shawl knitting pattern is the result of an experiment to combine two mirror images of a vortex (cornucopia) shawl shape using a center panel born on a flight from Thessaloniki to Berlin earlier this month.

The Aegean Sea shawl is a Faroese shaped shawl worked sideways using two mirror vortex (cornucopia) halves, joined using a cabled center panel.
