Artist Studio

Artists creatively express themselves through a wide array of mediums, from vibrant watercolors to rich acrylics, and techniques like frottage to impasto. However, knitters possess the unique ability to "paint" with yarn! The Artist Studio shawl showcases sweeping curves and broad brushstrokes, elegantly crafted into a stunning finished object (FO) that embraces the beauty of “no right angles.” This captivating design features a harmonious interplay of cables and lace, juxtaposing structured architectural cable elements with wild, freeform lace. Whether you choose to use serene watercolor tones for a tranquil Monet-inspired creation, bold solid colors for a striking Picasso effect, or speckled variegated yarn to embody the dynamic mood of Pollock, this shawl allows you to channel your inner artist.

The pattern has been meticulously tech-edited and test-knit, ensuring ease of use and a perfect fit. It is fully written out and includes detailed charts and a schematic to aid your crafting journey. For those who prefer visual aids, don’t forget to check out the Knit Eco Chic channel on YouTube for a helpful video tutorial that demonstrates the continuous bind-off method featured in this pattern.

Gauge: To achieve the best results, aim for 22 stitches and 34 rows over a 4”/10cm square in Stockinette Stitch. Please note that while exact gauge is not critical for this design, variations in gauge can affect the final size and overall yardage requirements of your shawl. Happy knitting, and let your creativity soar!
