Introducing our exquisite shawl pattern, inspired by the breathtaking ornate ceiling of Commerce Court North in Toronto. This striking design captures the essence of the expansive blue and golden ceiling in the banking hall, creating a visually stunning accessory that is sure to turn heads. Whether you're wearing it as a cozy wrap or a sophisticated fashion statement, this shawl is a true masterpiece of knitting.
Delight in the versatility of this reversible shawl, featuring alternating sections of stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches within a delicate lace pattern. This unique design allows you to showcase two different looks with just a flip, making it a practical addition to your wardrobe.
The intricate lace stitches are thoughtfully crafted exclusively on the right-side rows, elevating the aesthetic appeal of your finished shawl. To accommodate all knitters, the lace pattern is provided in both written and chart form, ensuring ease of understanding and compatibility with your personal knitting style.
One of the standout features of this pattern is its adaptability. You can easily adjust the width of the shawl in increments of 18 stitches, tailoring it to your desired size. Furthermore, you have the flexibility to customize the length by modifying the number of times the chart is repeated, enabling you to create a shawl that perfectly suits your needs.
This stunning pattern works with two yarns held together throughout, enriching the overall texture and appearance of the shawl. Designed with Catherine Lowe yarns, which are sold in increments of 100 yards (91.5 m) rather than by weight or skein, you can achieve the finest quality. Each yarn utilized in this pattern is equivalent to cobweb lace weight, and when held together, they form a luxurious lace weight fabric. For this shawl, you will need 11 units each of Alpaca #1 and Silk #1 yarns, ensuring a rich and elegant finish.
Overall, the pattern requires approximately 1100 yards (1006 meters) of lace weight yarn, making it an ideal project for those who appreciate intricate knitting. Embrace your creativity and enjoy the process of crafting this stunning shawl, inspired by architectural beauty. Download your pattern today and start knitting your own piece of art!
