Secession - Knitting Pattern

Few hand-knitted accessories elevate an outfit quite like a gracefully draped shawl. If you are searching Ravelry for a project that balances relaxing, rhythmic stitches with eye-catching detail, the Secession Shawl is an absolute gem waiting for your needles.
Designed as an asymmetric curved triangle, this pattern flows seamlessly from one corner to the other in a single, continuous piece. The gentle curve allows it to hug your shoulders naturally without constantly slipping off—making it as practical for everyday wear as it is elegant for special occasions.
Why the Secession Pattern Deserves a Spot on Your Needles
Whether you love tailoring every detail of your projects or simply want a versatile piece you can style in multiple ways, this pattern offers complete creative freedom:
- Versatile Weight Compatibility: Beautifully adaptable whether you prefer a delicate, airy drape using fingering weight yarn or a squishy, cozy feel using DK weight.
- Fully Customizable Sizing: While the pattern includes detailed instructions for two base sizes, it also provides a clear framework to adjust the dimensions to create anything from a petite neckette to an oversized statement wrap.
- Optional Beaded Details: Adding tiny glass seed beads brings an exquisite weight, sparkle, and professional polish to the finished edge—though it looks equally breathtaking without them.
- Flowing Asymmetric Shape: Worked sideways from tip to edge, making it easy to monitor your yarn supply as you progress toward the final bind-off.
Yarn Choices & Styling Inspiration
Because of its distinctive curved geometry, the Secession shawl showcases both solid and subtly speckled hand-dyed colorways magnificently. A single skein of high-twist fingering yarn easily yields a light spring neck wrap, while rich semi-solid tonal colorways highlight the stitch definition and bead placement for an autumn-ready accessory.

About the June Bunnies Shawl
June Bunnies began with the yarn.
Designer Inese Andzane explains that she had received an exceptionally soft angora, merino and nylon blend and wanted to cast on something immediately.
Because she wanted a project simple enough to knit while watching a movie, she chose a straightforward lace idea and developed it into this triangular shawl.
That relaxed origin is still reflected in the finished design.
Why Is It Called June Bunnies?
The playful name is connected to the yarn used for one of the original shawls.
The soft angora blend reminded the designer of the softness associated with bunnies, giving the project its memorable name.
A Customizable Triangle Shawl
One of the most useful features of June Bunnies is that the finished size is not rigidly fixed.
The designer describes it as a pattern that can be adjusted for different yarn weights and different shawl sizes.
You can add more lace repeats for a larger shawl or use fewer repeats for a smaller accessory.
How Much Yarn Do You Need?
The Ravelry record gives a general range of:
400–600 yards / 366–549 meters
For a full-size shawl in fingering-weight yarn, the designer suggests approximately:
400–500 yards
A finer yarn or a larger shawl may require more.
Fingering Weight Is a Natural Starting Point
Fingering weight is the primary yarn weight associated with the pattern, but the design was intentionally created to be adaptable.
That makes June Bunnies particularly appealing when you have a special skein and want a shawl pattern that does not force you into one exact finished size.
The Original Yarn Inspiration
One of the original versions used a fingering-weight blend of:
- 40% Angora
- 40% Merino
- 20% Nylon
This combination produces a soft fabric with a gentle halo.
Another version was made with a much finer merino, silk and cashmere blend, demonstrating how differently the same design can look when the fiber and yarn thickness change.
There Is No Need to Copy the Original Yarn Exactly
June Bunnies was designed with flexibility in mind.
When substituting yarn, think about the finished fabric you want rather than searching only for an exact discontinued or difficult-to-find yarn.
Consider:
- Yarn weight
- Total yardage
- Drape
- Fiber content
- Halo
- Stitch definition
- How the yarn behaves after blocking
What Needle Size Should You Use?
June Bunnies is designed to work with different yarn weights, so there is no single needle size that makes sense for every version.
Choose a needle that produces an open, attractive fabric with your selected yarn.
A small swatch is useful if you are unsure whether your yarn and needle combination gives the lace enough room to open after blocking.
Top-Down Construction
June Bunnies is a top-down triangular shawl.
The project begins with relatively few stitches and grows outward as you work.
This construction is especially convenient for a customizable shawl because you can watch the triangle develop and decide how large you want the finished piece to become.
Simple Sections Between the Lace
One of the reasons June Bunnies feels approachable is that the entire shawl is not densely covered in complicated lace.
Decorative lace insertions are separated by simpler sections, giving the knitter periods of more relaxed knitting between the patterned areas.
This creates visual rhythm in the finished shawl and makes the project easier to manage.
A Good First Lace Shawl
The designer specifically describes June Bunnies as well suited to lace beginners.
Experienced lace knitters may also enjoy it as a relaxing project that does not demand constant concentration.
If you already know the basic knit and purl stitches and are ready to practice yarn overs and decreases, this can be an appealing introduction to triangular lace-shawl construction.
Skills You May Practice
- Top-down shawl construction
- Yarn overs
- Lace decreases
- Reading a lace chart
- Following written lace directions
- Maintaining a center line
- Repeating lace motifs
- Stretchy binding off
- Blocking lace
Charted and Written Instructions
June Bunnies is particularly useful for knitters who are still learning how they prefer to follow lace.
The pattern provides both charted and written information, so you can work with the format that feels most comfortable.
Learning to compare the chart with the written instructions can also be a useful way to build chart-reading confidence.
Use a Lifeline While Learning Lace
A lifeline can save a great deal of frustration.
After completing a section you know is correct, thread a smooth contrasting yarn through the live stitches.
If you later make a mistake that requires unraveling several rows, the lifeline gives you a safe place to stop.
Count Your Stitches Regularly
Lace patterns rely on increases and decreases occurring in the correct places.
A forgotten yarn over can affect not only one row but the alignment of the following motif.
Periodic stitch counting helps you catch mistakes while they are still easy to repair.
Blocking Reveals the Lace
Do not judge the finished appearance while the shawl is still bunched together on the needles.
Appropriate blocking opens the lace, evens the stitches and allows the triangular shape to settle.
Always choose a blocking method suitable for the fiber content of your yarn.
Try a Slightly Variegated Yarn
The designer specifically suggests that June Bunnies could look lovely in a slightly variegated yarn.
Because the lace is separated by calmer sections, gentle color variation can add interest without necessarily overwhelming the stitch pattern.
For strongly variegated yarn, however, a swatch is useful to see whether the color changes compete with the lace.
Make It Smaller or Larger
One of June Bunnies' Best Features
The designer intentionally allows you to add as many or as few lace repeats as you like. This means the pattern can become a smaller shawlette or a more generous full-size shawl depending on your yarn supply and preference.
Keep Enough Yarn for the Finish
Customizable shawls create one important planning challenge: it is easy to keep knitting until very little yarn remains.
Remember that you still need enough yarn for the final lace section and bind-off.
If your yarn supply is limited, weighing the remaining yarn between sections can help you make a more informed decision about adding another repeat.

Before You Cast On
Decide how large you want your June Bunnies Shawl to become and check how much yarn you have available.
The pattern's flexibility means you do not have to reproduce one exact sample size.
Choose a yarn and needle combination that creates a fabric you enjoy, keep track of your lace repeats, and leave enough yarn for the final section and bind-off.
For a first triangular lace shawl, June Bunnies offers a particularly appealing balance: enough lace to learn something new, but enough simple knitting to keep the project relaxing.

Stitch Stripe Shawl Knitting Patterns
 |
| Beauitiful Knitting Shawls |
Stitch stripe shawls are a wonderful way to combine several knitting techniques in one wearable project.
Instead of relying only on color stripes, these shawls alternate sections of garter stitch, lace, slipped stitches, moss stitch, eyelets, dropped stitches and other textures.
The result can look complex while still allowing you to work through one manageable stitch pattern at a time.
About This Guide
This Amazing Knitting page is an independent guide to textured stripe shawls. We do not reproduce designers' complete knitting instructions. Pattern availability can change, so use the original designer or publisher links for the current pattern.
What Is a Stitch Stripe Shawl?
A stitch stripe shawl is built from visible bands or sections where the knitting technique changes.
One section might be simple garter stitch, while the next introduces lace, slipped stitches, moss stitch, eyelets or another texture.
Color changes can make those sections even more obvious, but they are not essential. A single-color shawl can still show dramatic striping when the stitch patterns create enough contrast.
Why These Shawls Are So Interesting to Knit
Long shawls can sometimes become repetitive. A sampler-style design solves that by changing the knitting experience as the fabric grows.
You may spend one section working relaxing garter stitch and the next following a lace or slipped-stitch motif.
This makes textured stripe shawls especially useful for knitters who enjoy variety without wanting to make many separate small projects.
Good Techniques for Stitch Stripe Shawls
Common techniques include:
- Garter stitch
- Stockinette and reverse stockinette
- Moss or seed stitch
- Lace and eyelets
- Slipped stitches
- Mosaic-style colorwork
- Dropped stitches
- Twisted stitches
- Bobbles
- Textured ribs
You do not need all of these techniques in one design. Even two or three contrasting stitch patterns can produce a strong striped effect.
Free Pattern: Lueur Shawl
Lueur by Audrey Borrego is an excellent modern example of the stitch-sampler idea.
It combines several textures including twisted stitches, bicolour moss stitch, bobbles and a garter tweed motif.
The shawl is an asymmetrical triangle worked sideways and uses two colors of sport-weight yarn.
Lueur is currently available as a free Ravelry download.

Free Pattern: Guild Park
Guild Park by Laura Chau is another interesting textured wrap.
Published by Knitty, it combines a zigzag lace mesh with twisted stitches and dropped-stitch sections that create soft waves across the fabric.
Guild Park is a rectangular wrap worked flat in sport-weight yarn and remains available as a free Knitty pattern.

Free Web Pattern: Cambria Wrap
Cambria Wrap by Alexandra Tavel is a large triangular wrap that alternates simple fabric with eyelet and lace details.
The design uses worsted-weight yarn and is approximately 76 inches / 193 cm wide with a depth of about 38 inches / 97 cm.
The designer currently offers a free web version, while a paid PDF version is also available for knitters who prefer that format.
View Cambria Wrap Pattern Information →
One Color or Several?
Both approaches work.
With a single color, the eye is drawn to the changing stitch texture. This can produce an elegant and understated shawl.
With two or more colors, the stripe structure becomes much more graphic.
If the stitch pattern is already elaborate, consider using relatively simple color combinations so that color and texture do not compete for attention.
These Patterns Are Excellent for Stash Yarn
Multi-section shawls can be useful stash projects because different colors can be assigned to different bands.
Before mixing leftover yarns, make sure they behave reasonably well together.
Similar yarn weights and compatible washing instructions usually make finishing easier.
Watch Your Gauge When the Stitch Changes
Different stitch patterns can produce very different fabric widths even when worked with the same yarn and needle.
Garter stitch, lace, slipped stitches and seed stitch may not all have the same natural gauge.
In a well-designed pattern, the designer has already accounted for these differences. Avoid changing stitch counts or needle sizes inside individual sections unless you understand how that will affect the overall shawl shape.
Use Lifelines in Lace Sections
If a shawl alternates easy texture with more complicated lace, a lifeline can be useful before beginning a difficult section.
That gives you a known-correct row to return to without undoing an earlier completed stripe.
Keep Notes as You Work
Sampler shawls are much easier to manage when you keep a simple record of your progress.
Note which section you are working, which color you used and where you stopped.
This is especially useful if the project is set aside for several days or weeks.
Blocking Makes a Big Difference
Blocking is especially important when several textures appear in one shawl.
Lace usually opens after blocking, while garter and moss stitch settle into a more even surface.
Use a method appropriate for your yarn and follow the designer's finished measurements rather than stretching every section as far as possible.
How to Choose a Stitch Stripe Shawl
Before choosing a pattern, consider what you want from the project.
- Choose garter and simple texture if you want relaxing knitting.
- Choose lace sections if you enjoy charts and openwork.
- Choose slipped stitches if you want color effects without traditional stranded knitting.
- Choose a sampler shawl if your goal is to practice several techniques in one project.
- Choose a multicolor design if you want to use leftover yarn or mini skeins.

Check the current pattern source before purchasing yarn because older roundup pages can remain online long after an individual designer has changed a pattern from free to paid or discontinued it.
Once you choose a design, read through all of its stitch sections before casting on and make sure you understand any unfamiliar techniques.
Then choose colors that allow the texture to remain visible and enjoy the changing rhythm of the different stitch patterns.

About the Birds Nest Shawl
Designed by Athanasia Andritsou, Birds Nest Shawl is a lace project intended for knitters who want to explore something beyond basic triangular shawl construction.
The designer describes it as a deep triangular shawl featuring some of the beautiful stitches associated with Estonian knitting, including the characteristic raised details known as nupps.
The combination of open lace and dimensional texture gives the finished shawl an intricate appearance that can look especially striking after careful blocking.
The Inspiration Behind Birds Nest
The name has a lovely connection to the designer's surroundings. Athanasia Andritsou originally introduced the design while observing the birds nesting in the trees around her home.
That natural inspiration suits the pattern particularly well: the lace has an organic appearance, with repeating motifs and textured details that create movement across the triangular fabric.
Yarn and Yardage
The original shawl was designed using Posh Yarn Miranda Lace, a luxurious lace-weight yarn.
The published yardage is approximately:
766–875 yards / 700–800 metres
The original Miranda Lace yarn combines fine fibres that produce a soft fabric with a gentle halo.
If you substitute another lace yarn, consider both stitch definition and drape. Highly textured lace details can appear quite different in a very fuzzy yarn compared with a smooth, tightly spun yarn.
Needle Size
The published needle size is:
US 2 / 2.75 mm
Treat the recommended needle size as a starting point. Lace knitters often adjust needle size depending on the yarn and the amount of openness or drape they want in the finished fabric.
A Modular Shawl
One particularly useful feature of Birds Nest Shawl is that its size is modular.
The designer also notes that gauge is not particularly important for this project. That gives the knitter more flexibility than a fitted garment, where a small gauge difference can significantly affect the final size.
Yarn quantity still matters, however. If you plan to make a larger shawl, allow additional yarn rather than relying only on the quantity used for the original project.
What Are Nupps?
Nupps are small raised decorative elements strongly associated with Estonian lace knitting.
They create tiny dimensional points within the lace rather than remaining completely flat like ordinary openwork stitches.
They can require more attention than basic yarn-over lace, particularly when several loops must be handled together. If this is your first project using nupps, practicing the technique on a small swatch before beginning the shawl can make the main project more comfortable.
Charts and Written Support
Birds Nest Shawl is primarily a chart-based lace pattern.
The designer also provides written instructions after the charts, but explains that these are intended as support for the charts rather than a complete replacement for them because the chart repeat boxes need to be taken into account.
For that reason, this pattern is best approached by a knitter who is comfortable reading knitting charts or is willing to learn how chart repeats work.
Skills That Help
Useful skills for Birds Nest Shawl include:
- Knit and purl stitches
- Working yarn overs
- Working decreases
- Reading lace charts
- Following chart repeat boxes
- Working Estonian-style lace techniques
- Making nupps
- Managing fine lace-weight yarn
- Blocking a lace shawl
Blocking the Finished Shawl
Blocking is particularly important for lace knitting.
Freshly knitted lace can look compressed because the stitches have not yet opened into their intended shapes. Careful blocking helps reveal the openwork, defines the triangular shape and allows the decorative motifs to become much easier to see.
Always follow the care instructions appropriate for the yarn you choose.
Pattern Corrections and Updates
Because Birds Nest Shawl has been available for many years, it is worth downloading the current version rather than relying on an old saved copy.
The designer uploaded a corrected version in 2018 addressing specific chart rows. Using the current Ravelry download helps ensure that you are working from the latest version provided by the designer.
Is Birds Nest Shawl Still Free?
Yes. Birds Nest Shawl is currently available as a free Ravelry download from Athanasia Andritsou.
There is an important condition: the designer states that the pattern is provided for personal, non-commercial use.
Please check the designer's complete current terms when downloading the pattern. “Free pattern” means there is no purchase price for the download; it does not mean the designer has given up copyright or usage conditions.
