Bosherston cabled shawl

Introducing the Bosherston Shawl: a lightweight accessory that beautifully blends the elegance of a shawl with the practical size of a neckerchief. This exquisite shawl features intricate cabled waterlilies along with a stunning cabled curlicue border, all worked from the bottom tip up, adding a touch of artistry to your knitting projects.

Essential Skills Required:

To create the Bosherston Shawl, you should have a solid grasp of knitting basics, including knit (k), purl (p), single-end cast on (CO), and bind off (BO). You'll also need to be familiar with basic cabling and working from charts. Don’t worry if you’re new to cabling; the pattern includes detailed explanations of all the closed-ring cabling techniques you'll use, but it assumes you have foundational knowledge of cabling in general.

The pattern provides row-by-row instructions that balance written directions and charts for a clear knitting experience. For those who prefer a cozier finish, we recommend using larger needles along with a worsted or aran weight yarn. This will produce a larger and warmer shawl that’s perfect for chilly evenings.

The charming waterlily motif featured in this pattern is versatile and can be adapted for various other projects, making it ideal for crafting blankets or embellishing your favorite garments. Each stitch captures the serene beauty of Bosherston’s famous lily ponds, bringing a piece of Pembrokeshire into your home.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just getting started, the Bosherston Shawl is a delightful project that combines practical functionality with artistic flair. Start knitting today to create your own stunning masterpiece!
