Ardisia
Ardisia Shawl is a stunning right-angle triangle shawl inspired by the vibrant marlberry plant, celebrated for its droplet-like berries. Designed for knitters who appreciate both beauty and technique, this shawl is crafted using rustic sport-weight yarn that enhances the texture and color variations in the project. The Ardisia Shawl features two unique stitch patterns: a captivating twining rib that mimics the look of cables without the complexity, and delightful scattered droplets created with dip stitches, adding a whimsical touch to the overall design.
This beautiful shawl is constructed on the bias, with increases consistently placed along one edge, while the other two edges remain straight throughout, ensuring a clean and elegant silhouette. To give the shawl a polished finish, it is framed with a sophisticated i-cord edging that enhances its rustic charm. Completing the look, playful tassels are attached to each of the three corners, adding an extra element of flair and character to this exquisite piece.
The size of the shawl is highly customizable, allowing knitters to easily modify it by working more or fewer pattern repeats to achieve their desired dimensions. The pattern is thoughtfully crafted to accommodate both metric and US terminology, catering to a global audience of knitters. For ease of use, both written and charted instructions are provided for all stitch patterns, making it accessible for knitters of various skill levels. Additionally, a step-by-step photo tutorial for working the dip-stitch droplets ensures that anyone can master this technique with confidence.
Gauge is an important factor in achieving the best results, with the recommended gauge being 17 stitches × 26 rows per 10 cm / 4".
