Amberle
Introducing Amberle, a beautifully designed triangular shawl that is as addictive to knit as it is cozy to wear. This stunning shawl showcases Amberle's squishy textural stitches that bring worsted yarns to life. The repetitive knitting pattern is easy to memorize, making it much less complicated than it may appear—perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters seeking a rewarding project.
IMPORTANT YARDAGE NOTE: Keep in mind that your yarn usage may vary depending on how loosely or tightly you wrap your stitch patterns throughout the main shawl and the border. While your wraps should be taut, they must not be tight; aim for consistency in tension across your entire knitting project. You should be able to place the tip of a finger just under each wrap, ensuring it feels snug without being too tight.
YARN RECOMMENDATION: For this shawl, we suggest using Julie Asselin Nurtured, a luxurious 100% Fine Wool blend (comprised of Rambouillet, Targhee, and Merino fibers) that offers both comfort and durability. Each skein provides 130 yards (118 meters) and weighs 56 grams (2 ounces), making it an ideal choice for this worsted weight pattern.
To create the Amberle shawl, you will need:
- 4 skeins in the Main Color (MC), beautifully displayed in the colorway Compass, or approximately 520 yards (475.5 meters) of worsted weight yarn.
- 3 skeins in the Contrast Color (CC), featured in the captivating colorway Irma, or around 390 yards (357 meters) of worsted weight yarn.
GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 15 stitches x 23 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch when blocked, and 14 stitches x 22 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) when unblocked. Accurate gauge is essential to ensure your shawl turns out both beautiful and fitting.
