Aside from that, traditional costumes are sometimes simply beautiful and look especially good on children. Here in this thread, fans of traditional costumes will find suitable patterns available for immediate download.

This beautiful top-down knitted shawl is the perfect finishing touch to a pretty dirndl . The shawl is first knitted with a classic center stitch, which later splits into two strands. Small beads can be worked into the leaf tendrils. The fringes, which are knotted into the edge at the end, add the finishing touch.

The shawl is incredibly versatile. With its trendy boho style, it can also be worn as a poncho—fastened with a pretty brooch or clasp. This lovely shawl is also perfect as an accessory for evening wear or even a wedding outfit.

The finished dimensions after blocking are approximately 180 x 73 cm.

Materials needed

• Approx. 1000 m of yarn (e.g., cotton, merino wool, linen, hand-wound designer yarn—the yarn should not be thicker than sock yarn), with approx. 30% used for Part 1 and approx. 70% for Part 2
• Knitting needles appropriate for the yarn used
• 2–4 stitch markers
• Beads (e.g., seed beads)
• A piece of very thin wire (for threading the beads) or dental floss
• Crochet hook for tying the fringes
• Sewing needle for weaving in the ends
• Scissors
• Stitch holder (e.g., cable needle)
