Arya Shawl

If you're looking for a stunning yet simple knitting project, look no further than the Arya Shawl, inspired by an exciting collaboration with Primrose Yarn Co. This delightful accessory serves as the little sister to a pair of shawls: while they share similarities, Arya shines with its unique features. Crafted using cozy DK weight yarn, you can create this eye-catching piece with just one skein in each of two contrasting colors, making it both an easy and interesting project that fits into any knitter's repertoire.

The design showcases simple lacework that alternates between two colors, combined with a striking slipped-stitch pattern that adds drama and visual interest to your color changes. For maximal impact, opt for high-contrast yarns to create a bold statement piece, or choose lower-contrast skeins for a more subtle and sophisticated look. The asymmetrical triangle shape of the Arya Shawl is skillfully constructed through clever increases and decreases, resulting in a wearable and substantial shawl that is perfect for layering.

YARN: DK Weight/8-ply
C1: 247 yd/226 m
