Anthem Shawl

Introducing the beautiful asymmetrical ‘Anthem Shawl,’ a must-try knitting project that elevates your accessory collection! This stunning shawl utilizes a playful combination of right and left-leaning stitches, creating diagonal ribbing throughout the majority of the shawl. As you progress, the design elegantly transitions into a captivating geometric lace pattern at the end, adding a touch of sophistication. The Anthem Shawl is designed to be worn draped gracefully over your shoulders or wrapped snugly around you like a cozy, oversized scarf, perfect for any occasion, from casual outings to formal events.

Gauge: To achieve the optimal fit for your shawl, knitters should use US 9 (5.5mm) needles, achieving 16 stitches and 22 rows in a 4” square of stockinette stitch.

Skills/Stitches Required: This project is perfect for intermediate knitters who are comfortable with basic techniques. You’ll need to know how to cast on, knit, and purl, as well as master twisted stitches, slipped stitches, yarn overs, and picking up and knitting stitches.
