Allegro Shawl

Introducing the Allegro Top – a beautifully crafted, wrap-around design that features a stylish ribbed waistband and an elegant open back. This unique top is not only visually appealing but also extremely lightweight, thanks to its innovative open lace stitch. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, the Allegro Top is incredibly easy to make and knits up quickly, requiring minimal finishing touches. This versatile piece is perfect for layering over your favorite summer dress or t-shirt, whether paired with jeans for a casual look or dressed up for a night out. Allegro serves as an ideal layering option for chilly evenings, expertly protecting your neck and upper back from the cool air. Its lightweight structure means you may almost forget you're wearing it.

With measurements that are approximate due to the flexibility of the Allegro shawl, this design easily accommodates a range of body sizes, making it a truly inclusive pattern.

For this pattern, you will need a needle size of 7mm straight and 4mm circular. Achieve the perfect tension with 10 stitches and 12 rows to create a 10cm square over the stunning lace stitch when using 7mm needles.

The Allegro Top is photographed in the enchanting colour of Alpaca Sand, knitted with Purl Alpaca Designs’ luxurious Medium 100% alpaca yarn. This yarn choice not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the design but also ensures a soft and comfortable wear.
