Boscastle

This stunning shawl pattern artfully combines two exquisite yarns to create a beautiful accessory for any wardrobe. The vibrant, hand-painted colors of Pagewood Farms Yukon are showcased brilliantly in areas of stockinette stitch, resulting in a striking visual contrast, while the luxurious Swan's Island Merino Fingering beautifully enhances the delicate lace panels. To finish off this enchanting shawl, a charming picot bind-off frames the edge, adding a lovely touch of interest at the conclusion of the last stockinette section. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a curious beginner, this design will engage your creativity.

Boscastle, a picturesque fishing port located on the stunning North coast of Cornwall, UK, serves as the perfect inspiration for this shawl. The charming village, known for its natural harbor protected by two stone harbor walls built in 1584, draws countless tourists each year with its breathtaking scenery and rich history. Imagine wrapping yourself in this lovely shawl as you stroll through the quaint streets of Boscastle or while enjoying a coastal walk along the cliffs.

For this shawl, the sample used approximately 400 yards of Pagewood Farms Yukon and 250 yards of Swan's Island Merino Fingering, but feel free to explore your creativity by substituting any combination of fingering weight yarns that inspire you. Experimenting with colors and textures can add a personal flair to your finished piece, making it uniquely yours.

To knit this beautiful shawl, you will need a size 4 circular needle, with a minimum length of 32 inches, or the size that achieves the correct gauge. Please keep in mind that changing your needle size may affect the total amount of yarn required, so it's wise to have extra yarn on hand just in case. With its beautiful design and versatile yarn options, this shawl pattern is a delightful addition to any knitting collection. Start your project today and embrace the joys of knitting!
