Hello, sweet soul! Today, I have an absolutely exquisite, stunningly lacy, knitted shawl pattern to tell you about. I think you’re going to fall in love with the breathtaking Midnight Grove shawl, so I hope you’ll keep reading for all the delightful details!

Midnight Grove was designed by Emily Walton. When asked about the inspiration for this pattern, Emily said, “Starlight Lace and Leaf Shadows combine to create a lace wrap that’s perfect for a night out on the town or a late night walk through the garden. You’ll stay warm and cozy without adding too much extra weight with this elegant accessory. I knew in advance that I wanted to design a more traditional rectangular wrap that let the yarn and the pattern shine without any crazy shaping. I love the openness of Starlight Lace, and pairing it with the Leaf Shadow border made me think of spring nights, full moons and starry skies, and late night walks in gardens under trees. The colors also work well with both lace patterns. The tonal variations remind me of thin clouds that cross the moon during the night. Nighttime has always been my favorite time of day. I suppose it’s the romantic in me.”

“Like most of my pieces, I really fell in love with this design after it was blocked and the lace opened to its full potential. We swatch to get an idea of what a piece will look like blocked, so I knew where I was going with the pattern. But even a large swatch isn’t as exciting as seeing a fully finished piece that has been blocked and is ready to be shown off to the world. Even though this piece is essentially a long rectangle, it can still be worn multiple ways, folded or unfolded, or even as a scarf, making it versatile and multi seasonal, so it also suits my need for functional fashion.”

This is an Intermediate to Advanced level pattern and is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include lace stitches and lace blocking techniques. The updated version is rated as Advanced due to the use of intarsia techniques. The pattern includes written and charted instructions.
