Albuquerque Sunset
This delightful knitting pattern isn’t just easy; it’s incredibly FUN to create! Featuring a slipped stitch technique paired with alternating solid rows, this design allows the beautiful variegated yarn to truly shine. The pattern concludes with a simple lace repeat that adds an elegant contrast, perfect for finishing touches. Throughout the entire project, the yarn is carried up the neck edge, ensuring a clean and polished look. You'll work with one color of yarn at a time, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.
The last three pictures showcase the edge where the yarn is carried, along with the back side of the shawl, providing a clear view of the construction and finishing details. You'll love the way your project transforms with each row, as the sunset-inspired hues emerge from the yarn.
Inspiration for this pattern comes from the breathtaking sunsets in Albuquerque, which reflect beautifully on the Sandia Mountains. Picture yourself indulging in a Golden Pride breakfast burrito while soaking in that stunning view—bliss! Or if you prefer, you can enjoy knitting this piece in Rhode Island with an Iggy's clam cake and a Dunkin' Donuts coffee, just as I do while dreaming of the New Mexican landscape.
This pattern was thoughtfully designed for one skein each of a variegated and a solid sock or fingering weight yarn. But if you prefer to use two solid colored skeins, I won't tell—feel free to customize it to your liking! This allows for endless creativity, turning a simple project into your own unique masterpiece.
The lace border is provided in both charted and written form, catering to all knitting preferences. This user-friendly approach ensures that you’ll have all the guidance you need to complete your project successfully. Get ready to create a beautiful shawl that not only keeps you warm but also serves as a stunning accessory to complement any outfit!
