Barbara W. (Plucky Knitter Series)

Discover the third and final installation in the beloved Plucky Knitter Series! This beautifully designed, richly patterned shawl is not just a project; it’s a celebration of Barbara Walker’s spirit of creativity and pluckiness. Crafted using a variety of textured stitches, this cozy shawl is perfect for knitters looking to create a warm accessory using worsted or aran weight yarn, showcasing the incredible versatility of simple knit and purl stitches.

Our comprehensive pattern includes two distinct gauges to accommodate your yarn choice: using worsted weight yarn will yield a stunning Medium size shawl, while opting for aran weight yarn results in an elegant Large size. One of the standout features of this shawl is its top-down construction, allowing for easy customization; you can add additional repeats to modify the size to perfectly fit your style.

This shawl is ideal for intermediate knitters seeking to hone their craft. Within the pattern, you will find both written and charted instructions to guide you through each step of the knitting process, making it accessible for a variety of learning styles.

When it comes to tools, we recommend using the following needle sizes for optimal results: For the Medium size, a 32-inch or longer US #7/4.5mm circular needle is suggested, or size to obtain gauge. For the Large size, opt for a 32-inch or longer US #8/5mm circular needle to ensure the perfect fit.

For yarn, we proudly showcase samples knitted in The Plucky Knitter Primo Worsted in the rich colorway of Emerald City for the Medium size, and The Plucky Knitter Rustic for the Large size. If you’re looking for suitable alternatives, check out our suggested substitutes listed below.
