Willowbrook (named after the street I used to live on, in Toronto), is a long triangular shawlette that is just the right length to wrap around the neck once. Garter stitch is knit to a slightly loose gauge to create a soft cushy fabric that drapes nicely.
The lacy edge - worked as you go - provides interest and charm. The shape and weight are ideal to wear underneath a coat - the tapered ends can be tucked in to look like a cowl. It is also the perfect warm-weather accessory.
It is knit side to side, from one point to the other. It’s perfect for a Gradient yarn, or it can showcase a beautiful variegated or handspun yarn.
Pattern includes instructions to make the most of whatever amount of yarn you have, so it’s perfect for handspun!
Pattern has been test knitted using several different yarns. Lace pattern is both charted and written.
Brenda Castiel Designs
I’ve been knitting on and off since my teens, but became somewhat obsessed with it in 2007. I love squishy wools for the short, mild Los Angeles winters, and like light-weight wools, cottons and blends for the rest of the year. I really believe that even beginner knitters can create something beautiful and useful, so I strive to keep patterns simple yet original. I have sold designs to Interweave Knits, Vogue Knitting, Knit Picks, Knit Now magazine, Classic Elite Yarns, and Three Irish Girls Yarns, and have been published in several books. I produce a monthly newsletter with knitting tips, freebies, reviews, and giveaways -- please sign up at www.knitandtravelandsuch.blogspot.com. Get a free pattern when you sign up.
