Bumpass Shawl

Introducing the Bumpass Shawl, a stunning knitted accessory named after the charming town of Bumpass, where I reside. The original shawl was crafted using natural DK weight yarn sourced from Holly Hill Alpacas, a delightful local farm located just minutes from my home. If you're looking to support local artisans and experience the beauty of alpaca yarn, you can find more about them here.

The second iteration of the Bumpass Shawl is knit with Knit Picks Wonderfluff yarn in a luxurious bulky weight. This oversized version is perfect for wrapping up in during the colder months, providing an extra layer of warmth and comfort. The yarn’s incredibly soft and fluffy texture makes it a pleasure to wear, whether you're cozying up at home or heading out for a brisk winter walk.

This captivating pattern features a unique lace cable design complemented by twisted cables that truly come to life after washing and blocking. To add a touch of whimsy and elegance, I've incorporated swallowtail tips, giving the shawl a distinctive flair that’s sure to garner compliments.

One of the highlights of this project is the use of large needles, which ensures that you'll experience instant gratification as your shawl quickly takes shape. This project is designed for adventurous beginners to intermediate knitters looking to expand their skills while creating a beautiful piece. To suit your knitting style, the pattern includes both written and charted directions, making it easy to follow along.
