Aletheia
Introducing Aletheia, a beautifully designed circular shawl that is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills. This stunning piece begins at the center and is knitted in the round, with a precise method of evenly increasing the stitch count as you progress towards the outer edge. Throughout the knitting process, you'll be working exclusively on the right side of the fabric, allowing you to see your masterpiece come to life with every stitch. As the shawl expands, you'll transition from using double pointed needles to circular needles, accommodating the growing size of your project.
Once the body of the shawl is complete, you’ll add a breathtaking lace edging that is worked sideways around the circular body. This intricate lace edging is a delightful challenge, as it incorporates techniques worked on both sides of the fabric (Right Side and Wrong Side), making it an excellent opportunity to practice and showcase your knitting prowess.
The Aletheia shawl begins with comprehensive written instructions for a stockinette stitch beginning, providing clear guidance for knitters of all experience levels. Following the stockinette base, you will dive into the mesmerizing lace portion; this section features charted instructions across three distinct charts. The lace pattern is beautifully intricate and includes a variety of stitches, such as knit (k), purl (p), yarn over (yo), knit 2 together (k2tog), knit 3 together (k3tog), single knit pass (skp), skip 2 purl (sk2p), and make one (m1). Additionally, for those working on the swatch, you’ll also encounter purl 2 together (p2tog), enhancing the overall texture of your shawl.
The Aletheia shawl is not just a knitting project; it’s a journey into the art of lacework that promises to elevate your knitting collection. Whether you’re an intermediate knitter ready to tackle new challenges or an advanced maker looking to explore innovative designs, the Aletheia shawl pattern offers an inspiring experience from start to finish.
