Claire's Shawl

Inspired by the Outlander series of books by Diana Gabaldon, this shawl pattern is written for lace, fingering and sport weight yarn.

The center looks like waves and represents both the literal ocean and the figurative ocean of time, both of which are crossed numerous times throughout the book series. The first border pattern is called Horseshoe Lace, which brings to mind horses and Jamie. But, this pattern also looks like rolling hills or mountains-- the landscape of the Scottish Highlands. The last two border patters are a Celtic knot motif and Thistle Leaves, together symbolizing Claire's wedding ring. Finally, the points of the knitted edging stand around the perimeter of the shawl, representing the circle of standing stones.
