This shawl is translating some of the beautiful landscapes of Sierra Nevada into knitted fabric. Summits and valleys, streams and rivers get their interpretations in lace patterns, all coming together in a well balanced modern shawl. Worked at a loose gauge using just two skeins of fingering weight yarn, the piece is airy and light, and very easy to style.

Sierra Nevada Shawl combines garter stitch, two types of drop stitches, and simple lace into a delightfully entertaining knit of the best “just one more row” kind. The design is completely symmetrical which allows to adjust it to almost any available yardage and to increase/decrease the length of a shawl to any desired. Lace pattern is both written out row-by-row and charted, and a video tutorial for the drop stitch is provided. The pattern would work great even if one of the two colors used is heavily variegated. So pick the yarn and watch your very own Sierra coming to life.
