Aspen Stands Shawlette

Experience the beauty of autumn every time you wear this stunning shawl inspired by the vibrant Aspen trees of Western Canada, where I spent the first 30 years of my life. The intricate leafy motif beautifully captures the essence of those breathtaking trees, while the rich fall colorway brings to mind memories of crisp autumn days at home. This shawl, with a depth of 15” and a graceful wingspan of 62,” offers not only a warmth that wraps you in comfort but also a visually striking design that will attract compliments.

This unique pattern begins with a delicate lace border, followed by a short-row body that showcases your knitting skills, and concludes with a simple garter stitch edging for a polished finish. Modification directions are included to inspire creativity and customization, allowing you to truly make this project your own!

Finished Size: 15” depth, 62” wingspan – perfect for draping over your shoulders for warmth or wearing as a stylish accessory.

Yarn: Utilize Arcane Fiber Works Fingering weight yarn (ideal for sock projects) consisting of 85% Merino and 15% Nylon. You'll need approximately 435 yards (100g), and the sample used the full skein to achieve its lovely drape and structure.

Needles: I recommend using a Size 5 US/3.75mm 24” circular needle, or adjust the needle size to meet your gauge preferences for the best results.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 20 stitches and 29 rows per inch in blocked stockinette stitch. Each motif repeat measures 1.5” wide by 2.5” deep. While gauge is not critical for this shawl, it will influence the total yardage and the overall drape of your finished project.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to expand your skills, this shawl pattern offers a beautiful blend of complexity and charm that captures the essence of autumn. Get ready to cozy up with this enchanting design and celebrate the season in style!
