NEW PATTERN || AMBERLE SHAWL & A GIVEAWAY!

Shannon Cook

I'm so excited to release my newest knitting pattern - AMBERLE! 

Meet a triangular shawl that’s as addictive to knit as it is snuggly to wear. Amberle’s squishy textural stitches bring worsted yarns to life and the repetitive pattern is easily memorized—making it much less complicated than it looks. The wide border creates a gorgeous way to showcase contrasting colors. And did I mention the texture - swoon!

Use code "amberle15" to save 15% OFF until 04/08/16.

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND AMBERLE...

My inspiration for this design was texture. I knew I wanted to use these two stitch patterns to create a triangular shawl that was just filled with scrumptious texture! When I swatched with Nurtured by Julie Asselin I just knew I had finally found the right yarn! The name Amberle came from the main character of the tv show (and books) The Shannara Chronicles. I was watching the first episode while I was swatching and fell head over heels for the name and her strong yet feminine elf queen character! 

AMBERLE is knit in a worsted weight yarn on size 4.5mm/US 7 needles. It's easy to memorize and quite an addicting project! I'd classify this an intermediate pattern but that's not to say an eager Intermediate Beginner couldn't tackle it :) The stitches are quite easy (& fun) once you do a few!
