renaissance
Renaissance Crescent is a sunny shawl with bands of stranded and lace knitting in a rainbow of harmonizing natural colors, evoking the warmth of Mediterranean climes - terracotta, sunshine and flowers.
The 18 shades of Blue-faced Leicester 4-ply Yarn were hand-dyed with traditional natural dyestuffs in the south of France by Renaissance Dyeing (now Lã nollin in Isère in the French Alps).
This is an intermediate knit, combining simple lace knitting and simple back-and-forth stranding with two colors per row. There are some long rows towards the end, and a narrow knitted-on border.
Finished dimensions: approximately 53cm/21in deep at center back by 168cm/66in wide
Gauge: approximately 26 sts and 30 rows = 10cm/4in in stranded knitting on 2.75mm/US2 needles
The pattern is charted.
The pdf contains lots of charts, short instructions and notes, and a phototutorial on splicing.
English and French versions of the pdf are available.
Renaissance Crescent is also available as part of the Indigo & madder eBook.
