We are always on the lookout for intriguing yarn and pattern combinations - and are completely captivated by the gorgeous undulating ripples found across the Wind of Change shawl.
We combined La Bien Aimée Merino Singles with Verb's silk-mohair Frond yarn and the result is stunning. Due to the squishy nature of the stitch pattern, the softness and halo of the yarn combination, and the gentle curve of the shawl that drapes ever so easily around one's neck, this shawl is a must-have to keep warm.
Wind of Change is an asymmetrical triangle, worked top down in one piece. The shawl begins with a garter section, where you can focus simply on the color and yarn. Now that you are warmed up, you will move to the lace section. Though the pattern looks as if it might be knit brioche - nope - this is knit in English ribbing, a technique much easier than brioche, but gives the same wonderful soft, squishy, full fabric.
There are two colorways to choose from:
Dusk: La Bien Aimée Day by the Bay (Verb's custom color) + Frond Mist
Dawn: La Bien Aimée Nadia (named for the designer of Wind of Change) + Frond Meringue
Important Note: In order to get this pattern to work with 2 (instead of 3) skeins of LBA Merino Singles, we made the following modification to the pattern:
