A pattern you’ll want to knit again and again
Rosewater is celebrating its 3rd anniversary on July 4, 2018, and it remains a much-loved Woolenberry favorite. I think Marjaana (Manna2013 on Ravelry) holds the current record with 18 Rosewater shawls!
Rosewater is knitted with just one skein of fingering weight yarn.
The beautiful crescent-shaped shawl is the perfect pattern for those luxurious hand-dyed yarns you’ve been saving. Choose a soft shade for a delicate and feminine look or spice up your wardrobe with a bright and happy color.
For fibres, choose yarn that has a lovely drape. 100% merino works well, as you can see from the Rosewater I knitted with Madelinetosh Tosh Sock. But you could also try yarns where wool is mixed with silk or yak, which bring a lovely sheen to the shawl. Or alpaca, which gives a lovely halo and makes the shawl extra warm. For a summer shawl, try a mix of wool and linen.
With almost 900 Rosewater projects on Ravelry, there’s no shortage of yarn and colour inspiration. For a curated selection, see this and this blog post about Rosewater on the Project Love series for beautiful and inspiring shawls and yarn choices.
