Ash Leaf
Discover the beauty and charm of the Ash tree with our exquisite Ash shawl knitting pattern. Often referred to as a king of the forest, the ash tree is celebrated for being the last to blossom and the first to shed its leaves. Just like the majestic ash, your Ash shawl can grow into a stunning and expansive accessory, providing a warm, royally beautiful canopy over your shoulders.
The Ash Leaf shawl is a captivating double-spined design that not only adds elegance to your outfit but also ensures a secure fit on your shoulders. This versatile pattern allows you to customize the size, requiring between 400-600 meters of fingering weight yarn based on your preference. For those who wish to make their shawl even grander, simply add additional repeats as needed. The pattern is thoughtfully charted, making it easy to follow for both beginners and experienced knitters alike.
For a stunning green shawl, you’ll need just one skein of Malabrigo Sock in Ivy, which is a luxurious blend of 100% Merino wool, providing 440 yards (402 meters) per 100g. Using 3.75 mm (US 5) needles, our verdant shawl was worked five times, resulting in a beautifully blocked size of 51 x 130 cm (20 x 51 inches). The suggested gauge for this project is 19 stitches per 10 cm in pattern, ensuring your shawl has the perfect drape and texture.
If you prefer a striking teal color, consider using 127g of Lioness Arts BFL Sock in the enchanting shade "I’ll Never Grow Up." This yarn is made from 100% wool, offering 437 yards (400 meters) per 100g. Also knitted on 3.75 mm (US 5) needles, this version of the shawl was enhanced by working the verdure pattern six times. Once blocked, it measures 56 x 137 cm (22 x 54 inches). For this version, the gauge is 23 stitches in 10 cm garter stitch, providing substantial structural stability.
