It’s Free Pattern Friday!

Today, the Anemone Shawl knit in Major (pattern link here).

Here at Universal, this time of year always leaves us feeling torn. On the one hand, the chill in the air lets us keep knitting with warm yarns, which is one of the joys of wintertime. On the other hand… we’re ready for spring! And spring is exactly what designer Aubrey Busek was thinking of when she created the Anemone Shawl.

The anemone shawl is named after the delicate anemone wildflowers that bloom spring and fall. What a wonderful way to bring some color inside!

This lovely triangular lace shawl is knit from the top down, starting with a garter tab. The lace sections are both written and charted for your convenience. The entire project will take just two balls of Major.

While Aubrey chose color 136 Caladium to mimic the spring greens and purples of the anemones, there are other floral tones you could use.

135 Toile has beautiful peach/apricot vibes with seafoam accents…

…while 128 Valentine is a glorious array of roses.

Regardless of your choice, this floral-inspired shawl is a perfect bridge between the seasons. We hope you enjoy it.

Happy crafting!
