Amarie Shawl

Inspired by enchanting fairy tales and intricate elfish lace, the Amarie shawl gracefully combines bold and earthy colorways to highlight the stunning textures crafted by its unique stitch patterns. This beautifully designed accessory is perfect for knitters looking to elevate their wardrobe with a touch of whimsy and elegance.

SIZING & DIMENSIONS: The Amarie shawl is designed in one versatile size, with a width of 86cm (34 inches) and an impressive wingspan of 280cm (110 inches), making it a stunning statement piece for any outfit.

MATERIALS: To craft this lovely shawl, you will need Yarn: Indie Belle Merlin Solo, which is composed of 90% merino wool and 10% Belgian linen, providing a luxurious feel and amazing drape. Each 100g skein yields approximately 366 meters (400 yards), and a similar fingering weight yarn can also be used to achieve the desired effect.

For the sample shawl, the following yarn combinations were used: Indie Belle Merlin Solo in C1: 2 skeins of 100g in the delightful color ‘Wheat’ and C2: 1 skein of 100g in the nostalgic shade ‘Nostalgia’.

GOOD SUBSTITUTES FOR THIS YARN: If you're looking for alternatives to the Indie Belle yarn, consider using Knotty Habit Merino Linen Blend or 100% Merino Fingering Singles for a similar look and feel. Other great substitutes include Kokon Merino Linen, Eden Cottage Yarns Kelt Fingering, and Twisted Willow Yarns Merino Linen Fingering.

Needles: For this project, you will require 3.5mm (US 4) knitting needles, and a wool needle for weaving in ends and finishing touches.

GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 25 stitches by 35 rows, which equals 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm) in stockinette stitch after blocking. This gauge is crucial for ensuring that your finished shawl will have the perfect drape and fit.

Knitters of all skill levels will find joy in creating the Amarie shawl, making it a must-have pattern that's both timeless and modern. Embrace the art of knitting and bring a touch of magic to your wardrobe with this exquisite piece!
