Whispers of Alice

Whispers of Alice – This knitting pattern creates a top-down crescent-shaped shawl, gradually expanding as you knit. With four stitches added every two rows, the wings gracefully extend, forming a beautifully curved shape. The result is a classic crescent shawl with an elegant drape and a signature curled edge.

This project is worked flat, and it includes written directions throughout, accompanied by charts for pattern motifs, and a shaping schematic to guide you through each step. The instructions are broken down into clear, easy-to-digest sections to prevent overwhelm, ensuring a smooth knitting experience. 

To further assist you, a link is provided that contains additional resources such as a pattern progress tracker and a technique playlist. With these tools at your fingertips, you’ll have everything you need to create and block your masterpiece with confidence!
