Crafted in Malabrigo Lace, a luxuriously soft singles yarn, this shawl showcases the enchanting Applewood colorway. The hues of this yarn beautifully evoke the image of speckled light filtering through autumn leaves, adding a touch of seasonal charm to your wardrobe. Whether you're preparing for cool evenings or seeking a stylish accessory, this shawl delivers warmth and elegance.
This intermediate-level knitting pattern requires skills such as knitting, purling, lace knitting techniques, and simple decreases and increases, along with finishing touches. Don’t worry if you’re still honing your lace skills; this pattern provides a rewarding challenge that will enhance your knitting repertoire.
The finished measurements of the Apple River Shawl include a generous wingspan of 50 inches (127 cm) and a depth of 16 inches (40.5 cm) at its widest point, making it a versatile piece that can be styled in numerous ways. Ensure you achieve the correct gauge for your project, which is 20 stitches and 34 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in stocking stitch using 4mm (US6) needles—this measurement is taken after light blocking. If necessary, adjust your needle size to maintain this gauge for optimal results.
To create your own Apple River Shawl, you'll need just 1 skein of Malabrigo Lace (100% Baby Merino Wool, 50g / 470 yds / 423 m) in color #18 Applewood. If you prefer, this pattern can also be substituted with approximately 470 yds / 423 m of your favorite lace-weight yarn. Embrace this delightful knitting adventure and wrap yourself in the cozy elegance of the Apple River Shawl!
