British spring

Discover the beauty and comfort of our cozy, aran-weight shawl—perfect for any British season, whether it's the crisp autumn breeze or a chilly winter night. This versatile shawl is not only stylish but also an essential addition to your knitting repertoire.

Finished Measurements: With a generous wingspan of 54 inches (137 cm) and a depth of 25 inches (63.5 cm), this shawl is designed to keep you warm and fashionable. Note that each additional repeat of Chart 2 will add approximately 16 inches (41 cm) to the wingspan and 6 inches (15 cm) to the depth, allowing for customization to suit your style.

Yarn Details: Crafted from Artesano Aran yarn (144 yards/132 meters per 100g skein, 50% Alpaca, 50% Wool), in the stunning colorway of Dawn (co24), you'll need 3 skeins to complete this cozy project. Yarn notes: Our sample shawl utilized almost every inch of the 3 skeins of yarn. If you plan to adjust the length or are a looser knitter, consider purchasing an extra skein to ensure you have enough material.

If you're inspired to create more than the initial two repeats of Chart 2, it's recommended to purchase 6 skeins for an additional repeat (making three repeats total), or 9 skeins for an added two repeats (four repeats total) to fully achieve your vision.

Tools You Will Need: This shawl pattern requires a US 8 (5mm) circular needle with a length of at least 32 inches (80 cm). Additional tools include a cable needle, tapestry needle, stitch markers, and optional waste yarn for added convenience.

This knitting pattern includes both written and charted instructions, catering to your preferred knitting style and ensuring an enjoyable crafting experience. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, this shawl pattern is a delightful project that will enhance your knitting collection.
