Lune uses our wonderfully soft and toasty Twisted Tweed Sport yarn. This unique fiber blend includes two types of wool that are twisted together. Because they take the dye differently, the result is a cool, barber pole effect with gold, plum, and brown Donegal Tweed neps flecked throughout. This yarn base has such an earthy, homey, charming feel. It can be dressed down and worn in the most casual of cozy settings or dressed up for elegant occasions. Twisted Tweed Sport has a heirloom, yet hip, modern vibe. This yarn is a heartwarming blend of 43% Superwash Merino Wool, 42% Fine Merino Wool, and 15% Donegal with 384 yds/351 m per skein.
The sample shown here was made with our Grassland Hues Twisted Tweed Sport Kit and used approximately 1,460 yds/1,335 m total (Color A: 370 yds/338 m, Color B: 370 yds/338 m, Color C: 350 yds/320 m, and Color D: 370 yds/338 m).

As a young girl I delivered newspapers with my dad. It was usually still dark out when we made the deliveries. He told me ‘if we can see the moon it isn’t going to rain’. To this day when I see the moon, I think of my dad, our time together and his saying. Generally this saying has proven true. Thank you for helping me remember my dad at this moment. 💕
As a young girl living on the farm with my grandma, we used to sit on the porch, my head resting on her lap, listening to the cicadas, frogs, and coyotes, and watch the moon rise. We would play a game. What do you see in the moon. Those days are still vivid even though she's been gone many years.
I love the description in the Bible where it calls the moon a "faithful witness" (Psalm 89, verse 37). It makes me think of all the incredible people through the millenniums that have looked up at the same moon that I'm looking at and been awed and inspired.
When my husband was alive we would go outside just about every night to look up at the sky. We enjoyed the moon and all the stars! I miss that time! I would love to make this shawl in his memory. Thank you lovely lady!!
The moon has always been a symbol of mysticism, and yet calming and steady at the same time. I have enjoyed many, many evenings and nights quietly sitting, sometimes laying on the grass, staring at the moon absorbing the still serenity of the moment. Each memory is precious.
It's a beautiful shawl! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely story 💖 Have a magical day!!
For me, the moon has always held an almost spiritual significance to me. I'm a night owl and the moon has always been my constant companion on those long insomnia riddled nights.
The night was perfect, with a soft breeze and a full moon illuminating the night sky. My dad and I sat on his houseboat off the coast, listening to the gentle rhythm of the water and feeling the rocking of the boat below us.
I learned how to crochet from my Grandma at the age of 5, who loved to crochet lace tablecloths and doilies. Watching her crochet was mesmerizing for me and I literally spent hours admiring her beautiful handiwork. Life happens, and now many years later, I cherish having the time to resume this most relaxing hobby.
I love watching the moon. It gives me such solace, I laughed when you said to put on some soothing music of birds. As I live in the country I only need to step out on my back porch to hear the birds, watch the rabbits, squirrels, wild turkeys & deer grazing in the field behind my home. Such a peaceful and relaxing place. I often take my crochet projects out and enjoy my tea or coffee. This shawl is gorgeous and I am sure I will love it. ❤
Love looking at the moon when it is full. It gives me a sensation of mystery and brightness. Brings me back to childhood memories and to those who are gone.
I have a wonderful, snowy January memory of my husband and I waking up from the moon shining in our bedroom window, putting on snowshoes and heading down our trail. The moonlight on the snow was marvelous, and the night sky was amazing! ❤
My favorite evening walks are when the moon is full and the white clouds are visible. It is so peaceful.
My love for crochet started when I was 15. For the past 10 years, I’ve been able to crochet (and now knit) for my church group. We give out a wide range of items that can be knit and crochet. I find it very rewarding.
During a troubled time in my youth I often found comfort in looking over the moonlit fields by my house. I loved the look of the cool light and shadows and how calm it was.
I have many memories of sitting on the beach and watching the reflection of the moon on the water in the distance. I always sat in the same spot and if I close my eyes I can go there instantly.
Beautiful shawl! Blessings
I love sitting at the beach watching the full moon shimmer its beautiful silver light over the water . Such a glorious sight that connects you with the wonders of creation in a relaxing and peaceful way.
I have always felt like the moon was a distant guardian. It looks down on us and listens to us when we tell it our secrets.
Chandi, I love your calming commentary. It's like guided meditation, listening to you. Thanks!
I am a star gasser and love seeing the faces of the moon. It reminds me of how my life has light and sometimes slowly there's darkness creeping in, but I to remember that Jesus Christ is the light of the world and He lives inside of me!!🤗❤ The shawl looks so beautiful!! Love the colors!! Look so peaceful and restful!! I am glad it is crochet!!🤗❤❤
Thank for sharing!! God bless you all!!🤗❤❤❤
I love looking at the moon when camping and seeing the sky loaded with stars and the moon making everything glow. Happy memories and family time that come back for a special hug every time I see the moon!
I love watching the moon each night that I can! It soothes my soul and brings me peace and to know everything will be ok. I love seeing the different shapes.
I absolutely love this. When I was a little girl, I would look up to the moon and talk to her. It was a way I felt grounded and not so alone.
I love the way this shawl flows!!! I need this in my freezing office. Love your dress and I am sure you made your dress too. As a kid I have sweet memories of the time when we used to sleep in our porch. Back home we had outdoor cots and in the summertime we all slept outside. When laying in bed, we the kids used to count the stars see the bright moon and the glorious vast night sky, it all gives me the sweet memory of my childhood when I had no worries in life.
The moon has always been a symbol of transition and renewal to me. I wanted to say that this is a really beautiful shawl that's complemented so well by the grassland color kit and the tweed texture of the yarn! Thank you for offering so many patterns upon release for free in a wide range of skill levels. Each one brings a wave of creativity and inspiration. Thanks Chandi!
Such a beautiful pattern in lovely muted colours. Earth colours are definitely for me. Down here in Tasmania the air is cleaner and clearer than almost anywhere else in the world. This makes viewing of the moon, especially when full, a wonderful experience. On a cold, crisp night in winter there is nothing better than wrapping yourself in something warm and snuggly, sitting outside and watching the moon rise. Glorious.
I remember enjoying the full moon with my late husband! Just sitting in the yarn enjoying each other making a memory that I will forever cherish!
For most of my working life, I got off late at night. I enjoyed driving by a park that had a nice sized pond. I enjoy watching the moon dancing in the pond. It helped get rid of the stress of an awful shift or being grateful that the mechanical imps passed over my machinery that day. This looks like a wonderful piece of work on while chatting with family or good friends.

Hi Chandi. This is over of the most beautiful shawls. Since I consider myself a fairly intermediate crocheter, I will definitely try this one and as usual your instructions are so easy to follow. Living in the rural South, USA, some 60 years ago, I happily remember when the night sky was clear and so open to allow moon and stargazing with the naked eye. It was always a treat to look up and locate the moon and to see the different shapes the moon took.
When I was younger I loved going outside and laying on a blanket with my children and look at the moon and stars. There was several times that it was so relaxing that my children would fall asleep while talking about what they thought they would see in the moon.
I remember a holiday in France deep into the country many years ago. The sky was clear as glass with all the stars out and this beautiful summer moon. My young sons slept out in their hammocks under this sky just staring at the stars and the moon and counting shooting stars - just a beautiful memory. The shawl is beautiful- thank you for sharing it x
When I think of the moon I think of our Hawaii visits. The Moonlite beaches, the calm sounds of the waves splashing into the shoreline and the gorgeous air of plumeria excites the senses! I too think of all the people who view that same moon as well! Just love the calming music you play in the background of your videos!
I have many memories of looking at the moon with my late dad at our patio. We'd just enjoy the beauty of the night sky and talk about anything and everything.
The moon is my calm place! I love taking pictures of it. When I was a child they tore down the house across the street. When it was gone we could see out on the Bay the moon rising! So Beautiful! The stars were so bright! We were lucky to have that view for a few months before they built a restaurant! 🙏😇
Good morning🥰
Even as a child I would sit outside for hours just looking up at the sky watching the moon. There was something so magical and comforting. About the moon and its phases.
I love the beautiful shawl it is a wonderful reminder of the moon’s tenderness💕
"For the Sun loved the Moon soo much, he died for her each night, so that she could breath" That poem is as beautiful as the moon is to me. Every evening, weather permitting, I do a sunset and moon rise meditation outside in my garden, especially on a new moon night. Intentions and manifestations are put out into the universe on a new moon and they come into fruition on a full moon. I love this pattern so much that I rushed off to my sewing room and grabbed some speckly yarn from my bits n bobs, ordered the pattern and am now happily crocheting along with you, while I madly work on manifesting the beautiful yarn for this pattern. a perfect friday evening - Thank you sooo much for the free pattern 🥰
Spending a quiet evening on a clear night and watching the moon as it shines down on us is a special relaxing time enjoyed either alone or with family. Love the yarn.
I love seeing how the moon changes from season to season. Especially when it's the Harvest moon. Such beauty in the night sky!
This shawl is absolutely gorgeous!
I was with my Maltese husband in Malta. It was hot and we decided to go for an evening swim. We had the whole beach to ourselves so we swam naked down a silver ribbon from the gorgeous full moon under a cloudless purple sky. Off in the distance we could softly hear a band playing "String of Pearls". Suddenly off to our right and some distance away there was a glorious display of fireworks the colors reflecting on us and the water. I will never forget this perfect night shared with the love of my life. In my mind I return to this memory whenever I feel the need to remind myself how beautiful life is. ❤
This shawl is so lovely. I adore the moon in all its phases.
For me the moon is a symbol of life's ebb and flow. The highs and lows. And no matter what phase you're in it's still beautiful and mesmerizing.
Years ago there was a days long mass power outage- I swam in the lake with my mom by the light of a full summer moon to cool off. So peaceful and beautiful. My moms home now but that’s one of my favourite memories of her
Love this beautiful shawl it looks like a half moon so beautiful….love seeing the moon when it looks so big and close to us and it’s like orange so relaxing and calming, peaceful.☺️
One of my favorite memories as a young child, is looking out the kitchen window of my Great Grandmothers house on 80 acres in Northeastern Washington at the new fallen snow late at night and see how much the moon light made the snow sparkle. So beautiful ❣️
I have fond memories of sitting on my grandparents' front porch, enjoying the summer night's breeze. Growing up in the city, I loved spending summers in the country with my grandparents. My Nana would tell me to look at the moon and she would state what the next day's weather would be based on the colors surrounding the night moon. However, autumn is my favorite season, so I love the harvest moon -- orange-yellow, lying low and heavy in the night sky.
Such a beautiful shawl. They are my favorite thing to crochet. The moon is beautiful in all stages but there's nothing like a full moon shining down on you. I love it when it's really low like you could almost touch it. ❤
I always watch the moon. I love the phases of the moon. I work nights, so it's easy for me to watch. Thank you for a beautiful tutorial.
I love this shawl! Growing up in outback Australia without any city lights! Nighttime with the moon and stars was always so amazing! I still remember what it was like! Beautiful memories ❤
As you were talking about watching the moon, it reminded me deeply of the recent total eclipse. I live in the path of it and i got to walk outside and watch right from my front door!
It makes me tear up thinking about it now, but as the moon eclipsed the sun, there was silence. I felt the powerful connection between me and the thousands of other people watching this same incredible thing!! That was the most powerful feeling of interconnectedness ive experienced. It brings me a mix of wonderful emotions everytime i think about it.. peace, hope, connection ❤
In our family we always say " I love you to the moon and back" ❤
I love shawls that wrap you in a calm and soothing feeling - your yarn is truly beautiful! The Moon for me is like looking into the past and the future an eternity for mankind
I love see the moon through my windows in the early morning, I watch it grown and wane. It brings such comfort to me.
Gorgeous colours in this shawl, very calming and zen. The moon to me is a beautiful reminder of how our universe is more than just us, and that we form just a small part of it.
What a lovely pattern! One night when I was a young teen, I woke up in the middle of the night and was drawn to my window. I did not understand why. But when I went to the window, there was such a beautiful tableau of a full moon shining down on a lovely red rose that seemed to be reaching up toward my window from the rosebush planted there. It was breathtaking and felt it was a special gift to me! I'll never forget that night.
This is such a beautiful shawl. The moon is very peaceful for me. I loved camping under the full moon. To be able to watch it so clearly throughout the night and take nighttime hikes in the peaceful mountains.
The moon is so special to me in all its phases. Even at a half moon it can brighten the earth’s forests and meadows to allow one to see the night creatures. Full moons are spectacular and new moons the reset we all need.
I was on a trip to southern Spain in 2004 and was in a small village. Took a walk that evening in the quiet and the moon was so full and beautiful, an unforgettable image.
We (my 3 year old grandson and me) love to check on the moon through out the day and especially at night. I love how excited he gets.
The moon has been my guide at night so many times, both on foot and by horseback. I am forever grateful for this eternal night-time guide and the symbolism it has for women and witches. Happy Friday!
I am just amazed at the glory that God provides with both the Sun and the Moon. The pull of it and the effect it has on people is amazing.
I remember laying on the front porch swing at my grandmas house in the mill village and listening to machines from the tire plant down the street and watching the moon and feeling so peaceful
When our kids were in high school life was so busy we often were not all at home until 9:00 or 10:00 at night. Often we would take nighttime walks to catch up. Full moons were our favorite time to walk. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and patterns.
I have lots of memories of looking at the moon and night sky at a family members cottage with my kiddos. We’d have a fire and just soak in the beauty and quiet.
I was a pattern tester for this shawl and absolutely LOVE it. It’s so fabulous, so beautiful and simple. I absolutely LOVE the moon, we go out at dark every night to lock up the chickens and feed the horses. Seeing the horses in the moonlight is so magical. I finally got some tweed and plan on using it for this shawl, the 2 I did for testing I did with sock and restore fingering. ❤
I also remember sitting in a boat on the bay near our home, looking at a full moon, and feeling the magic of the moment. It was a very long time ago, but I still recall the feeling of being a tiny part of a very big universe!
The colors of this shawl are so soothing. Two moon memories stand out. One is waking up my small children to see a big colorful magical moon in the middle of the night. The second is staying up late with my teen photographer daughter to watch her snapping shots of a red moon on a cold winter night.
This is a gorgeous shawl. I feel like the moon represents both change and constancy. No matter what, the cycles change but you find beauty and mystery in the moon.
I've always loved the sunset, dusk and the night. A big part of that is that I find it to be incredibly peaceful and the 'star' of the night is truly the Moon- no matter the phase, it's always a beautiful companion. Love the pattern, I've downloaded it and the yarn is stunning. Thank you for another wonderful video and message. Have a great weekend!
I love to see the moon rising above the ocean. It reminds me I’m just a very small piece of a very large world.
I also feel the connection to others who might be looking at the same moon when I am.
Well, seeing i am working on my first crochet shawl after seeing this, makes me look forward to making something more intricate for my next project. It’s beautiful!
I am an Aquarian, so me and the moon are very much in toon with each other. A full moon brings me peace and calmness. It’s the light in the darkness.
The moon cycles remind me of the feminine cycles. It was always amazing to me how the women I worked with always synchronized their monthly cycles. We are definitely connected. I love to crochet on the patio or leave the patio doors open so I can feel the breeze and hear the birds. ❤❤❤
The moon for me is magical, there is something about it’s shine that pours magic on everything it touches.
What a beautiful pattern and also a wonderful meaning behind it! Whenever I see the moon, I find it so calming and also humbling. The Earth is but a tiny grain of sand in the vastness of the Universe and I like that vertigo feeling.
I remember as a child laying in the front yard with my sister looking at the moon and stars. It was one of the few times we really got along and just talked. It's a beautiful memory.
Beautiful shawl. My husband and I used to sit on the back of our sailboat and watch the moon come up over the lake. Lovely.
The moon is a beautiful gift. It is one the many things given to us by our Creator to make our lives not only possible but also deeply enjoyable. And what a great symbol of constancy! When I look at the moon, I am reminded of the necessity to appreciate every little gift with gratitude.
One of my favorite moon memories was when hubby and I were camping early in our marriage and we laid on the picnic cable and watched an amazing moon rise in the night sky with wispy clouds surrounding it. Breathtaking!!
The moon is so beautiful when it is full, lights up the whole yard.
I love the calmness of the moon surrounded by stars on a clear night.
I love the moon because it is ever-changing as it waxes and wanes, but is also constant as it cycles through. I love that I can be up in the middle of the night and if the full moon is out, I can still see my way around without feeling blind or lost. It is a huge comfort and guide. And most importantly, it is a still, calming reminder anytime the moon is out at night and I can see it that the sun will rise again. It is the quiet, peaceful moment between busy days reminding me that the light is not gone for good, it is just lighting somewhere else at the moment, allowing me a moment to breathe without fear and with hope for the new day tomorrow.
I love your voice. It is calming. I love the things you provide for us that are easy for even the newest crocheter! Thank you! As an RN of 47 years I can definitely tell you that the moon is a powerful force of nature. The same moon that can pull the tides can cause a mom to go into labor. It also causes havoc in nursing homes, jails, mental wards, etc. I love watching the same moon here in Missouri that my oldest son can see in San Antonio. Thank you for all you do!
Oh, I am all about the moon and the moonlight! My favorite! From thinking it was following me when I was a kid, to enjoying tranquil moments sitting under the moon and stars, I have always loved the moon. I live in the south and the sun can sometimes be too harsh and cause me issues with my eyesight and skin. The moon takes that light and mellows it out so that I can enjoy it.
💞💞💞
Hi Chandi. The shawl is gorgeous. I am a Cancer sign and we are ruled by the moon. I have always been fascinated by the moon and the sky and have spent numerous hours just sitting and watching the moon in various phases. It is always a calming and soothing place to be.
I love a huge Harvest Moon!! It amazes me to see it so massive and a beautiful, deep yellow when it is most often so much smaller and simple white. Takes my breath away!
The shawl is beautiful as your soul! You are an amazing person full of love , kindness and compassion. I don’t know what is wrong with me , I watch a lot of videos about knitting and crocheting and I don’t start doing it, I wish that we were closer so you can give me a push , I need it .
Seeing a full moon make happy and nostalgic at the same time , remembering people but also thinking how amazing is God! I have to be grateful for what He gives me everyday and stop complaining. Thank you so much for making me feel with this video His great love. The yarns colors are beautiful I love them. ❤🙏Elena
Hi! For me the moon teaches humility, for it is not her own light that shines through her but the sun’s. That always helps me understand that I can’t be proud of the light I shine to others because it is a borrowed light.
Watching the different phases of the moon is so satisfying. The moon, to me, represents calm and peace during the night. This is a beautiful pattern!
When I see the moon I look at it's different colors. I love it when it's so big it looks like you could touch it. But mainly I think of the moon as a sign to us as the book of Genesis says that the sun, the moon & the stars are a sign to us... intriguing how God speaks to us.
Your shawl reminds me of the moon over rippling waters. The color transitions and the lacey drape are beautiful!
such a beautiful shawl. The yarn is amazing of course. I always find it a treat when I see the moon!
The moon gives a feeling of quiet stillness and peace. I usually feel quite calm while looking at it.
I remember going shepherding with my Uncle Bill and Aunt Minnie. Sitting around the campfire looking at the stars and beautiful moon. Great memories.
Oh that's gorgeous and I love the stay on your shoulders part so much.
I've loved to look at the moon all my life. It was the thing my children and grandchildren first got excited about in the sky from the youngest ages. We still look for it always and if we aren't together, we call each other and ask, "Did you see the moon"?!
When my husband and I were dating, we went camping at Clear Lake in California. It happened to be a full moon that night and it was bright as day at 2 am. We ended up going for a short walk in the middle of the night. It was gorgeous and amazing, and I've not experienced a full moon like that since. Thank you for another gorgeous, crochet shawl!
For me, a treasured memory was looking at the Moon through my Dad's telescope on one of our last evenings together before he passed away. The Moon was captivating and sharing that moment, father and son, knowing our time together was limited, is a beautiful memory ❤
Gorgeous shawl and my absolute favorite yarn base! 🧶💗🥰
The MOON reminds me of a wonderful childhood spent outside with all my siblings lying on the grass and staring above at the moon while telling stories.....great times! 💕
I have always felt drawn to the glow of the moon. I think that there is something very magical and romantic that you can’t get anywhere else 😊
When I saw this pattern and learned the name Lune, I thought of my sister who had lost her best friend Luna nearly forty years ago. I thought I might make this for my sister as a reminder hug from the friend she lost so long ago. Thank you for creating this lovely shawl
Beautiful shawl. Thank you Chandi for sharing it with us. My strongest memory of the moon is watching astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in their moon walk. As a child it gave me the feeling I can do anything. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
This shawl is beatiful!! When I look at the moon, I am always filled with awe at God's creation. I can imagine being curled up in the shawl and falling asleep while moon gazing.!
Psalm 8:3-4. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that Yiu are mindful of him, and the son of man that you visit him?
I love looking at the moon and thinking about its reflective qualities. It reflects light from the sun and it reminds me that I need to try to reflect light and happiness even when there is darkness surrounding me.
Lovely pattern. The moon is always a special sight, I especially like seeing it on the coast when it is larger than usual!
I've always loved to sit outside and look at the moon. I may have gotten it from my mother (may she rest in peace) because she always made sure to point out the moon when we happen to be outside together when I was caring for her. Nice memories of my mother.
This is a lovely pattern. Your story was so soothing. Knowing that the same moon is being seen by me and the ones I love who are far away has helped me so much. Life has been chaotic for me lately. My aunt has just found out she has cancer and I want it make her a shawl so she can use it on her shoulders or as a lap blanket. And I think the shape of this is just perfect and the love you mention to think of as we make it is really touching my heart. Thank you so much for this pattern.
