Aerial Act Shawl

Introducing the exquisite shawl pattern designed for Circus Camp Loopy 2021—a perfect blend of artistry and functionality. This long shawl is skillfully crafted to be worked sideways, featuring a dramatic, swooping lacy edge that adds a touch of elegance. The shawl is then finished with an ornate edge that enhances its overall beauty, making it a standout piece in any wardrobe.

This stunning shawl pattern is the ideal companion to the Aerial Act Scarf, which is narrower with an abundance of garter stitch and boasts a more straightforward finishing edge. Together, they create a beautiful set that is perfect for any knitting enthusiast looking to create stylish accessories.

One of the great advantages of this pattern is that, like many shawls and scarves designed in this technique, gauge is not a strict requirement. What truly matters is that you love the fabric you're creating. Feel free to experiment with different yarn types to achieve a look that is uniquely yours!

Throughout the project, I utilized nearly my entire skein of yarn. To avoid the dreaded game of "yarn chicken," I recommend weighing your yarn as you progress, making note of how much yarn you use per pattern repeat. As you approach the end of your yarn supply, be mindful to ensure you have enough for one final repeat plus yarn for the bind-off. At that point, it's time to create the beautifully intricate Final edge that completes this lovely shawl.

In terms of yardage, this pattern requires approximately 775 yards, so be sure to plan accordingly. Additionally, you can rest easy knowing that this pattern has been professionally tech-edited to ensure accuracy and ease of use for knitters of all skill levels.
