Grain Field is an elegant, rectangular wrap with exquisite lace patterning created from traditional Estonian lace stitch patterns. Grain Field is light yet warm and the perfect size for wearing in a multitude of ways. The spectacular lace was designed to reflect the farming landscape, where ordered fields of grain are enhanced by hedgerows and areas where wildflowers are allowed to bloom. In this design, the flowers take centre stage in the middle of the shawl.
This fabulous lace stole is worked in two pieces, joined at the mid-line by either grafting or with a three-needle bind-off. Each part starts with a knitted cast-on using doubled yarn. The lace edge is worked, followed by the main pattern, ending at the centre of the wrap. The Estonian Lace patterns used produce a light, airy fabric including nupps and gathered stitches. While the pattern looks complex, once established it has sufficient structure to make it predictable to work.
Both written and charted instructions are provided with added instructions if a shorter wrap is preferred.
Grain Field is knitted in [link: Marilyn =:= /collections/marilyn :link], a luxurious 2 ply lace weight yarn, created from a blend of 55% Merino wool and 45% Silk which produce a fabulously soft fabric with a beautiful drape. The yarn is hand dyed in-house in a small but stunning range of rich, jewel like shades, including the gorgeous shade shown here is [link: Blue Angel =:= /products/blue-angel :link]. The yarn can be purchased seperately or as a kit either with or without a printed version of the pattern included. :tab1]
