About this Pattern

Introducing the Sakura Shawl. Sakura is the Japanese word for cherry blossoms, the beautiful pink flowers of the cherry tree. This shawl is delicate and elegant and features a simple 4-row lace repeat pattern throughout, which quickly becomes intuitive.

The stitch pattern creates columns of cascading lace, reminiscent of falling cherry blossom petals, framed by pillars of reverse stockinette stitch that adds texture and really makes the lace stand out. For ultimate luxury and drape, the pattern works beautifully with a yarn that contains a touch of silk, much like the delicate softness of sakura petals.

For the best effect, a solid or semi-tonal colour showcases the lace pattern. The shawl is finished with a deep border of garter stitch, which you can continue knitting until you run out of yarn making it a perfect choice for a one-off skein of luxury yarn.

If you prefer your shawls on the larger size, you can easily continue with the pattern to use 2 or even 3 skeins.
