Lavender Fields Easy Knit Shawl Pattern
Can you smell it? Spring is just around the corner. Don't put away your knitting needles just yet. This Lavender Fields Easy Knit Shawl Pattern is warm enough for the lingering chill of winter, but cool enough for the creeping warmth of spring. Even the colors are completely vernal, reminiscent of a purple, blossoming field of lavender and lilac. Offset by the soft gray, this toned-down shawl will do wonders to enhance natural beauty by drawing attention to the hair and face. There's no time to waste-spring waits for no one!

I wish that AllFreeKnitting would stop featuring patterns that require yarns that are long discontinued and impossible to find!

Hi Carol, we're sorry you've been disappointed with your experience! AllFreeKnitting is host to thousands of patterns, and therefore it is difficult to make note of and inventory every pattern with discontinued yarn before featuring them. We highly recommend going to yarnsub dot com to find a good replacement yarn for any pattern you're really itching to knit with discontinued yarn. It's been very helpful to us in the past! We hope this helps. Happy knitting! -Editors of AllFreeKnitting

Patons Misty is hard to get. It is discontinued. You will have to find a substitute yarn!

Very easy to make shawl / scarf / cowl. The yarn used gives this shawl a very textured look. It is a small shawl so it can easily be worn in several different ways to give you several different looks. It easily accessorizes casual outfits like jeans but I could also see it being used as part of a business casual look.

This looks like a fairly simple pattern. I have not made it yet but it is on my list. The instructions looks relatively easy to follow and I like the fact that it uses two colors. I am always looking for different scarves. Good for NY winters and for gifts. Thank you.

This shawl has a really standout appearance with the two colors interwoven. If you haven't worked with short rows before, this pattern is a nice introduction. It's not too difficult, just follow the instructions along carefully. I think you could try bold contrasting colors like black and white in this shawl and it would highlight the design even more.

This shawl uses simple garter stitch but it is very striking anyway because of the colors chosen. I absolutely adore the colors used in this shawl. They compliment eachother beautifully. The only Paton yarn I have tried is Patons classic wool, but this is another I would love to try.

I love this really simple pattern, because it is knitted in garter stitch and the only other stitch you need to know is how to knit into the front and back of a stitch to increase it make sure it the perfect pattern for beginners. The shawl is really snugly and soft as it is knitted with bulky yarn and if you don't want to mess around with changing colours it works really well with a variegated yarn instead. This would make a fab gift for friends with winter birthdays.

For those of you who have issues trying to print a pattern, I have a simple solution. I use my mouse to highlight all of the pattern text and then copy and paste it to "notepad". Notepad is one of the tools on your computer for plain text documents. I then save that document to my desk top and its easy to print from there. If your pattern has lots of diagrams or photos, its probably better to save it to Micro Soft Word or another word processing program. Once the pattern is on your desktop, just click on it to open and press print.
