Antipodes

Knit in one seamless piece from corner to corner, the Antipodes shawlette is a stunning, lightweight accessory that combines elegance and functionality. This long, narrow crescent-shaped shawlette offers a contemporary twist on classic knitting shapes, allowing it to wrap twice around your neck and showcase the eye-catching lace design along with its beautiful drape.

The lacework is cleverly crafted to appear intricate while being deceptively simple to knit, as it’s created simultaneously with the shaped garter body. This makes Antipodes a fantastic project for experienced knitters as well as adventurous beginners who are eager to craft something truly special and unique. With both written and charted instructions provided, you’ll have all the guidance you need to bring this striking piece to life.

This knitting pattern has undergone thorough test knitting and professional tech editing to ensure clarity and accuracy. The pattern also includes a detailed explanation on how to make adjustments for a longer or shorter shawlette, along with essential tips to help you avoid running out of yarn during your project!

Sizing: The finished shawlette has a generous width of approximately 260cm/102" (when blocked) and a depth at the widest part of about 20cm/8" (when blocked), making it the perfect size for draping gracefully around your shoulders or wrapping snugly around your neck.

YARN: This elegant shawlette is designed for Fingering Merino/Silk yarn by DyeForYarn, a luxurious blend of 75% Merino wool and 25% Bombyx silk, categorized as Fingering / 4 ply.
