Hello, my wonderful fiber friend!

Our knitting pattern for you this week is the beautiful and elegant Montagne Shawl!

Montagne, inspired by the French word for mountain, is a beautiful Intermediate level knitting pattern designed by Emma Butram. It features several lace motifs that will take you on a knitting journey from the forest to the tops of the snow capped mountains.

Emma says:

“Winter brings images of snow, evergreen trees and glorious mountain peaks to mind, even for a Southern girl like me, so I decided to design a shawl filled with lace patterns that try to recreate these images. Montagne Shawl is the result – montagne is French for “mountain.”  It starts with plain knit at the center which transitions into a stand of trees with footpaths to the nearby mountains. Next come the foothills of the mountain just past the tree line, and then we see the snow capped peaks – the crown glory of a mountain range.  Surrounding all of this is the border which ripples like the outline of mountains in the distance. While knitting this shawl you might feel like you’re climbing a mountain, especially when you get to the later sections where the stitch count is high. But the end result is well worth the effort and perseverance, like scaling the heights to see a breathtaking mountain sunrise.”

This circular shawl is made with our 100% merino superwash Resilient Sock yarn for a warm and cuddly shawl that can be enjoyed for years to come!

 

We have filmed a video tutorial for you showing you how to get started with the shawl, using the Magic Loop method, and we’ll show multiple stitches you’ll use in the pattern.

The sample shawl shown used our Resilient Sock yarn in Merryweather. The sample shown used approximately 1,353 yards.

However, you can make this shawl out of any 4 skeins of our Resilient Sock yarns.

We hope knitting this shawl takes you on a journey and that you enjoy each section as you move higher and higher into the mountain peaks.
