Winter is Coming Grande

This is the Grande or Large version my Winter is Coming Shawl. The shawl was inspired by the books and TV series Game of Thrones, but you don’t have to be a GoT enthusiast to enjoy it. Even though some of the inspiration from the series is quite hard and cold I think the final product is actually pretty and feminine. The shawl has different pattern sections separated by garter ridges which provide a link between the sections and draw it all together.

Inspiration from the series:

Wall section: The threat beyond the wall.

Snow: Winter is a theme throughout the series and books so I wanted a section of snow

Waves: Lands across the sea and the Iron Islands are represented in the wave section.

Dragon Scales: Daenerys and her dragons

Stakes and Icicles: The war, spears, stakes and swords all represented here. The shawl ends with the Icicle points, the reminded that while they all play at who gets the Iron Throne the real threat is coming from beyond the wall.
