🌿This pattern requires multiple skeins of yarn, and since hand-dyed yarn varies—even from the same dye pan—it is recommended to alternate skeins every two rows to avoid visible lines in the fabric; for more on doing this and creating a smooth, stretchy edge, see the SDK blog post Alternating Hand-Dyed Skeins for a Smooth Edge.
 
🌿The Plant Lady Shawl is worked bottom-up with decreases at the center and edges to shape the triangle, finishing with a reverse garter ridge tab at the top edge; written instructions are on page 6, with a photo and video tutorial in the SDK Blog post Knitting A Reverse Garter Ridge Tab
 
🌿The Plant Lady Shawl is an elegant take on the lace pattern created for the Plant Lady Cowl. This lace pattern was inspired by the healing herbs who grow just outside our front door. Check out the Plant Lady Cowl here. 
 
🌿The Plant Lad Shawl🌿
This shawl is a nod to the strength and beauty of what is often overlooked; the plantain, clover, lemon balm, and dandelion that grow quietly at our feet. We add herbs to our soup and sing songs of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme when we don’t feel well. We fill empty jars with flowers and hang them to dry to bring color into our lives. We turn herbs into tea to energize and strengthen us. There is magic in the ordinary and healing power in those who are often dismissed as weeds. With rich textures and organic beauty, it’s a grounding addition to your hand-knit wardrobe, inviting you to pause, breathe, and knit with intention.
 
The Plant Lady Shawl honors the Plant Lady within each of us and is a gentle reminder that tending to the small and quiet things can bring great comfort.
