New Shawl Pattern

Elara is a new pattern from Wool & Pine. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Elara is designed to flow beautifully off your needles and onto your shoulders, blending rhythmic lacework, rippling garter panels, and bobbles that dot the fabric like treasures waiting to be discovered. Thoughtfully placed short rows shape this DK-weight wrap, creating a generous silhouette with effortless drape. 

The result is a timeless piece with a quiet, earthy vibe: easy to style, easy to love, and sure to become a favorite in your handmade wardrobe. 

Construction Overview: Click here for schematic
Elara is knit flat from the top down, shaped with short rows to create gently sloping garter panels that play beautifully alongside lace sections and bobble accents. The final flourish? A delicate picot edge that feels both polished and playful. 

The finished wrap is generously sized to enhance its drape and versatility, with dimensions that feel like they belong on the walls of a sunlit artist’s studio—or wrapped lovingly around your shoulders.

Wool & Pine suggests DK weight yarn but I think that Rios knit on 4.5mm or 5mm needles would be a great choice. 

Thank you Wool & Pine for all the beautiful pictures. 

I’m tired today and wasn’t sure if I could come up with a blog post. Dad and Beth gave me a cruise for my birthday/Christmas. Check in opened at midnight last night so it was late/early to bed. I got the best boarding time so it was worth it.
