We created the Vesper Shawl pattern for the 2024 Rose City Yarn Crawl.
The Vesper Shawl is a celebration of Oregon's Little Brown Bat. This amazing animal is a vital part of our ecosystem, spreading seeds, pollinating plants, and capable of eating more than 1,200 mosquitoes in a single night. And it's a MAMMAL that can FLY!
The name is taken from Vespertilionidae, the scientific family of insect-eating microbats to which Little Brown Bats belong. Vesper is Latin for "evening," and bats were once referred to as "evening birds."
Designed to mimic the structure of a bat's wings, the Vesper Shawl is knit from the top down. Increases occur on the front edges and along five spines, representing the body and fingers of the bat. This cape-like crescent shawl is designed to sit securely on your shoulders. Or wrap the ends across your front if you're feeling especially bat-like, and take flight for an evening of adventure.
The kit includes the pattern and two skeins of Knitted Wit Non-Superwash Fingering. Recommended needle size: US 5/3.75 mm (not included).
