Pattern
Yavanna Kementari is the “lover of all things that grow in the earth…from the trees like towers in forests long ago to the moss upon stones or the small and secret things in the mould.” This simple and elegant lace stole features a lace motif that evokes the growing shoots of a tender vine and speaks to Yavanna’s love for all growing things. The lace pattern is taken from Hitomi Shida’s Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible. It is an easy-to-memorize, 12-row repeat that makes for meditative knitting. Drape yourself in subtle elegance with the Kementari Stole.

Construction
The Kementari shawl begins at one end with an i-cord cast-on and is worked straight in a 12-row lace pattern repeat before ending with an i-cord bind-off. The lace pattern gives the edges a scalloped shape that can be accentuated with blocking.

Yarn
This non-superwash Blue-Faced Leicester yarn is my personal dream-come-true in yarn form. A gorgeous lustre means it takes color beautifully. It’s the perfect combination of soft yet rustic and can easily be worn next-to-skin. It’s lightweight and airy—perfect for summer garments or flowy shawls—and the drape is delightful..

I rinse and wash my yarns thoroughly, but colors may still bleed a little. Please wash your knits in cold water, with mild soap.

I also take great care when photographing my yarns and retouching images to represent their color accurately. Please remember, however, that colors may vary from one monitor to another.
