Autumn's Glory
This versatile shawl pattern can be crafted in two stunning versions, providing you with exceptional value and creativity (scroll down to view photos of the alternative design). The first version features a lovely half hexagon shape, skillfully knit using Schaefer Trenna yarn, which is exclusively available at Little Knits. The second version showcases a classic triangular shape made with luxurious Malabrigo lace weight yarn, also sourced from Little Knits. By purchasing this pattern, you essentially receive two unique designs for the price of one! The pattern primarily utilizes charts, making it crucial for knitters who are comfortable using them to enjoy this project fully. If you are not accustomed to knitting with charts, please consider this before diving in. The triangular version, crafted with Malabrigo lace weight yarn, requires 2 hanks for completion. It comes with its own specific gauge—24 stitches and 32 rows = 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch—and requires size 6 needles. What I appreciate most about this design is that it is an easy lace pattern, perfect for both beginner and advanced knitters alike. The wrong side row is straightforward, consisting of a simple knitted border: K2, purl across to the last 2 stitches, K2. I make it a point to incorporate a 'breather row' within my lace patterns, as I believe this feature enhances the overall enjoyment of lace knitting. ERRATA-- I want to ensure you have the best experience with this pattern, so please note that there are 2 instances where I inadvertently left out yarn overs (YO's). One is on Row 57 after Chart B; the last YO before the final K2 was omitted. It should say... With this comprehensive shawl pattern, you’re set to create a beautiful accessory that is both practical and stylish—perfect for any season. Whether you're looking to impress at a gathering or simply enjoy a cozy night in, this shawl is an excellent addition to your knitting repertoire!
