Blossomfield
Introducing the Blossomfield Shawl, a delightful crescent-shaped top-down shawl that beautifully combines a squishy garter stitch body with an elegant petal lace design. This stunning shawl is perfect for knitters looking to create a versatile accessory, showcasing intricate lacework while remaining cozy and warm. Crafted using two complementary monochromatic skeins of Dingo Dyeworks Ridgy-Didge Softies fingering weight yarn, this project uses a dark tonal skein for the garter stitch section and a lighter tonal skein for the exquisite lace portion and charming picot edge.
Yarn Information: The Blossomfield Shawl utilizes Dingo Dyeworks Ridgy-Didge yarn, made from 85% Merino Wool and 15% Nylon, offering a luxurious feel along with durability. Each skein provides approximately 437 yards (400 metres) of soft yarn, and you will need around 400 yards of each color—referred to as Colour A (Dark) and Colour B (Light). The sample shown is knit using the Softies Set - Granny Smith, featuring two skeins that beautifully highlight the contrasting tonal shades.
Needles & Notions: To knit the Blossomfield Shawl, you will require US 5 / 3.75 mm circular needles, at least 32 inches (80 cm) or longer for comfortable knitting. Optional stitch markers can help in keeping track of your progress, especially through the lace pattern.
Gauge: Achieving a gauge of 17 stitches and 38 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch after blocking is recommended. Although gauge is not crucial for this design, remember that varying your gauge may change the final size, drape, and the amount of yarn used in your shawl.
Pattern Highlights: The lace section of the Blossomfield Shawl is thoughtfully provided in both written and charted formats, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred method for this gorgeous project. Whether you are an advanced knitter or an ambitious beginner, this shawl will not only enhance your knitting skills but also result in a stunning accessory for any occasion.
