White Arum Pattern Release

Today is the release of my latest pattern in collaboration with Les Belles Bouclettes. After all the fun I had designing the Bernina Cardigan I am super thrilled with the result of the shawl/shawlette design I have made with their stunning (totally stunning) fingering weight, Trillium yarn.

Inspired by the simple almost plain beauty of a white arum lily. White Arum is sized as a one-skein shawlette or two-skein shawl. It is a crescent-like shaped shawl knit from tip-to-tip, with no long rows, and it just seems to fly off the needles!

A simple cable and twisted stitch motif, combines with stocking stitch, and a soft lace edging to give an elegantly beautiful accessory to warm your shoulders.

The Trillium yarn is truly scrumptious. This 2-ply 75%/25% blend of mohair and merino is next to the skin soft, while being fuzzy and warm with an incredible sheen. I am very sensitive and never expected to work with a yarn with such a high mohair content that I would happily wear next to my skin. But this is it!

The one-skein shawlette is 100 cm (39.5”) wide and 45 cm (17.25“) deep and is the perfect size to drape over the shoulders on a chilly evening, even closing it at the front with a pin. Alternatively, I have worn it tucked up around my neck, kerchief style for a lovely neck-cuddle under my jacket! Here it is shown in the natural, undyed colour of the yarn.

For proper shawl lovers the two-skein option yields a 156 cm (63”) width and 60 cm (23.5”) depth. More than enough to wrap yourself up in! Here it is shown in the "Wood Rose" colourway.

For more details of the pattern check it out on Ravelry, and the yarn or kits (pattern+yarn) can be found at Les Belles Bouclettes.
