Free through 24 December, midnight Pacific time, with code SolsticeGift

The pinyon pine forest wears a cloak of white in the winter, with icy tendrils trailing after the pogonip. The Winter’s Finery shawlette echoes the beauty of a snow flurry amongst the evergreen branches, with an edge decorated for the solstice.

It’s a satisfyingly simple pattern, and a great introduction to lace. The top uses a T increase to present a beautiful smooth triangle, and the lace charts (with written instructions also included) are straightforward. The edging is finished up with an Icelandic bind-off that leaves a sturdy edge, and yarn scraps are used for the wee decorations along the bottom. It’s perfect for every day, or for special occasions.
