Learn How to Knit this Lacy Shawl – Frühling

Hello, my sweet sunbeam! Today, I want to share with you a fun, knitted shawl called Frühling. Read on to learn more about this beauty!

Frühling was designed by Jennifer Matlock. When asked about her design, Jennifer said, “Frühling is German for ‘spring,’ and I chose the name because ‘spring’ is this shawl’s primary characteristic. The colors actually remind me of the colors of a typical, early fall day in Indiana where I live – the white puffy clouds, the blue sky, the fading green of the trees, and the deep yellow of drying crops in the fields. However, it is actually the texture of the Lattice Lace that inspired this shawl’s name. I love the way this stitch pattern seems fairly ordinary while it’s being worked, but it magically ‘springs”’ open to a surprising degree when it’s blocked.”

“In addition to the magical Lattice Lace, Frühling incorporates two Shetland Lace inspired motifs – one down the center spine and the other across the bottom edge. The interchangeable Lattice Lace and Solid Rows allow you to modify the shawl to be as lacy or as solid as you like.”
