#MP-VIGNES | Les Vignes
WEB EXCLUSIVE
Like a vineyard stretching out to the horizon, this simple lace pattern winds its way down the shawl.
Les vignes (vineyards in French) may be worked with two panels for a traditional triangle shape, or three panels to allow it to drape gracefully around the neck and over the shoulders.
Both written and charted instructions for the lace are provided. Both 2- and 3-panel versions of the shawl can be worked in either of two sizes: small or large. See the schematic in the images (under "Click below for all images in detail") for sizing and shape details.
And like a fine vintage, this is a design you can savour for years to come.

From the designer:
Note regarding Oceanwind Knits custom colourway:
The large, 3 panel version in the top photo was made with three custom hand-dyed colours (LV1, LV2, LV3) of Oceanwind Knits Sock Merino (100% Superwash) yarn, which can be ordered as a yarn-only (pattern must be purchased separately) kit for Les vignes by contacting Lori Law (oceanwindknits on Ravelry) online at oceanwindknits.ca
The yarn amounts provided in the kit are specifically for making the LARGE, 3 PANEL version ONLY and must be used as noted in the pattern to achieve the gradual colour shift.
