Antiqued Shawl

Discover the beauty of antique lace artfully reimagined in a modern sideways triangle shawl. This stunning design not only showcases intricate lacework but also offers a contemporary twist that makes it a perfect accessory for any outfit.

Finished Measurements: After wet blocking, the wingspan measures a generous 86” and the depth at the center is 16” (218.5 cm x 40.5 cm), ensuring a beautifully draping shawl that wraps around you in style. Recommended Yarn: For this project, you will need 576 yards (520 meters) of DK weight yarn that achieves the specified gauge. Our sample was expertly knit using Leizu DK by Julie Asselin in the captivating Antique colorway. Needles Required: Use a US size 8 / 5 mm long circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches involved in this design. Essential Notions: Make sure to have a tapestry needle, safety pin, or removable marker on hand for an easier knitting experience. Gauge: Aim for 18 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in the Antique Lace Stitch after wet blocking. Please note that while achieving gauge is not overly critical, it will affect both the yardage you'll need and the final dimensions of the shawl.

Skill Level: This pattern is categorized as Intermediate, making it ideal for those who are familiar with knitting techniques and eager to take on a new challenge.

Important Notes: This asymmetrical triangle shawl is uniquely knit sideways on a slight bias, lending it a contemporary flair. Both written and charted instructions are meticulously included in the pattern, catering to knitters who prefer visual guides or written text. Whether you are looking to add a versatile piece to your wardrobe or gift a handmade treasure to a loved one, this antique-inspired shawl is sure to impress.
