Aaku

Aaku (pronounced ahh-koo) means "leaf" in the beautiful Telugu language. This exquisite lacy crescent shawl pattern is designed for knitters looking to elevate their skills, as it is worked from the top down and features three distinct sections. The two intricate side panels showcase unique textures, beautifully framing a center lace section that adds elegance and charm. For those looking to add a touch of sparkle, optional beading in the lace section is included, along with a picot bind-off for a polished finish. To assist you in mastering bead placement, a helpful video tutorial link is provided within the pattern. The Aaku shawl pattern includes both written instructions and charts, making it accessible for different learning styles.

Upon completion, the shawl measures an impressive 60 inches in wingspan and 23 inches in depth down the center, making it a stunning accessory for any occasion. This pattern is categorized as intermediate level, perfect for those who are ready to take their knitting to the next level. Additionally, we are proud to announce that this pattern has been thoroughly test-knit to ensure clarity and success for all knitters.
