Estonian Potpourri Shawl

Discover the timeless beauty of Estonian lace with this unique modular shawl pattern. Estonian lace is renowned for its delicate motifs, rich texture, and beautiful three-dimensional stitches that create an elegant finished fabric.

The Estonian Potpourri Shawl is worked as three Log Cabin-style blocks, each featuring nine different lace patterns—for a total of 27 unique lace motifs. Because the shawl is constructed one section at a time, you’ll work with only a small number of stitches, making this an enjoyable way to explore a wide variety of traditional Estonian lace techniques without managing hundreds of stitches at once.

Along the way, you’ll also find helpful tips and techniques to build your confidence and expand your lace knitting skills.
