The Mayapple Lace Shawl is a delicate and evocative celebration of the charming woodland wildflower that peeks through the forest floor each spring, its two umbrella-like leaves lifting a small, radiant white blossom toward the light. Inspired by the clusters of these enchanting plants encountered on a quiet woodland walk, the shawl translates the mayapple’s distinctive beauty into an exquisite interplay of lace motifs. At the center of the shawl, the body features a dainty lace pattern reminiscent of the mayapple flower cradled between its paired leaves, creating a gentle rhythm of petals and foliage across the fabric. This leads seamlessly into a striking border composed of fern and bellflower motifs, culminating in an elegant lace-leaf edging that echoes the forest floor’s lush textures. The shawl’s elongated semi-circular shape makes it both graceful and easy to wear, draping effortlessly around the shoulders. Shown in the luminous yellow of the flower’s center using Tosh Sock yarn, the design lends itself beautifully to any solid or tonal yarn that allows the intricate lacework to shine. Easily customized in size by adding or subtracting repeats of the body charts, the Mayapple Lace Shawl invites knitters to create a piece as delicate, spirited, and springlike as the wildflower that inspired it.
