Aurei shawl

Construction: This stunning shawl is meticulously crafted from the bottom up, beginning with a delicate lace border that seamlessly transitions into an elegant twisted rib pattern for the main body. The thoughtful design ensures a striking visual appeal while showcasing your knitting skills.

The body of the shawl is shaped using short rows, positioned closer together than in traditional short row shawls. This unique technique results in a deeper center back, creating a more defined crescent shape. The shawl not only drapes beautifully over the shoulders but also features a gentle flounce in the intricate lace edge, making it a delightful accessory for any ensemble.

Measurements: The finished shawl boasts a generous wingspan of 51 inches (130 cm) and a center back measurement of 25.5 inches (65 cm), providing ample coverage and warmth.

Gauge: The gauge for this pattern is 15 stitches and 30 rows over a 4x4 inch (10x10 cm) square in the lace pattern, after blocking. Although achieving gauge is not crucial, variations will influence the final size and yarn usage of your shawl, so keep that in mind as you knit.

This pattern includes both charts and written instructions for the lace section, accommodating various knitting styles and preferences. Whether you prefer to follow a visual chart or written directions, this shawl pattern offers flexibility and ease.

Additionally, in the same beautiful lace pattern, you can explore the Aurei Cowl, Aurei Hat, and Aurei Cuffs. Create a cohesive set of accessories that highlights your creativity and ensures you stay stylishly warm.

This shawl pattern is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a beautiful and functional piece. Dive into this project today and enjoy the rewarding journey of knitting something truly special!
