A flurry of snowflake and pine tree motifs swirl over the surface of this square shawl to knit with laceweight yarn. Shown here in Sweet Lace, colorway snow squall, it is just the tone and hue of fresh snowdrifts in icy air, but looks just as elegant in a fresh cream shade or many others (as customers have shown). Due to the large size of this piece (5 feet or more) it makes a simply gorgeous throw or bed scarf for the home. [See Whispering Pines on Ravelry for the smaller, triangle version of this shawl.]
While we no longer offer Sweet Lace yarn, any laceweight will work. From our Bare Naked Wools shop, we suggest:
Cormo in Purity – This is a 2-ply, worsted spun, 100% wool yarn and is most like the original sample shown. (approximately 3 skeins needed)
Fresh Lace in Natural – The silk and linen blend is an excellent choice for summer wear and creates more of an heirloom finished piece. (approximately 4 skeins needed)
Cashmere Lace in Natural Cream – For pure luxury, you can’t beat this 100% cashmere yarn (approximately 7 skeins needed)
You can view more information and purchase this square shawl knit pattern through Ravelry or Bare Naked Wools, our online store.
I am very VERY grateful to my good friend nan has once again pitched in enthusiastically to test knit and contribute her excellent advice and feedback on the pattern.
I’m equally indebted to my very special friend Vanessa, master of the knitting needles, for pulling this one out so fast once again; don’t blink or you might miss her!
and of course, none of us would be at all happy with it if it were not for Rachel, who very expertly proofreads each and every line of these patterns.
thank you both so much!

You are very very elegant! 🙂
Whoa, it’s gorgeous. Strangely enough, my favourite part is the snow drifts at the bottom of the trees — pure genius!
Utterly and staggeringly stunning, beautiful and breathtaking. It’s lovely on you but I almost love best the image of it draped over the end of the bed. Who needs paintings? Just hang the knitting on the walls! =) Congratulations on another success, Anne!
Oh Anne – you have done it again my friend. This is incredible – so stunning. Congratulations on an amazing pattern and completion. so lovely.
