Estuary

An estuary is a unique and enchanting in-between place, where the flowing waters of a river meet the vast expanse of the ocean. In this fertile habitat, sweet and salt water intermingle, creating a vibrant ecosystem where countless species thrive. This knitting pattern, titled "Estuary," beautifully embodies that same sense of blending and harmony. The design combines two intricate lace patterns to create an ambiguous and captivating shape—it's not quite a shawl, yet something more exquisite than a traditional scarf.

This stunning pattern was originally published in Knitty's First Fall 2012, showcasing the creativity and skill of dedicated knitters. The sample for this estuary-inspired pattern was crafted using Old Maiden Aunt Superwash 4-ply yarn in the rich shade of Jaded. For those looking to embark on their own knitting adventure, a suitable substitute yarn is also provided below.

Explore the endless possibilities that this versatile pattern offers, and let your creativity flow like the waters of an estuary. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a newcomer to the craft, the "Estuary" pattern will guide you through creating a delightful piece that celebrates the beauty of nature and the art of knitting.
