Callback

In the world of comedy, a "callback" is a clever joke that references something previously mentioned during a performance. In the realm of shawl knitting, the Callback is a captivating and intricate design that weaves a long tale of stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches. This enchanting piece is beautifully punctuated by a bold graphic I-cord, culminating in a lush, ruffled edge that elegantly repeats the main color, making it a standout addition to your collection.

To create this stunning shawl, it's essential to choose a fingering weight yarn that not only has excellent drape but also feels exquisitely soft against the skin. Pairing this with a matching mohair will enhance the overall texture and appearance. For optimal contrast, select a solid color for both the body and the ruffle, as this is where the graphic I-cord will truly pop and create visual interest.

You will need a total of 750 yards (685 meters) of your chosen Main Colour (MC) in fingering weight yarn to complete the shawl. Additionally, you will require 20 yards (18 meters) of each of your Contrast Colours: Contrast Colour 1 (CC1) and Contrast Colour 2 (CC2) for the graphic I-cord. To finish beautifully, 330 yards (300 meters) of mohair or a similar fluffy laceweight yarn that complements your MC is needed for the stunning ruffle.

This pattern is perfect for knitters who enjoy a little narrative in their work as they create a fashionable yet cozy accessory. The Callback shawl not only showcases your knitting skills but also makes for a thoughtful gift or a special treat for yourself. Explore your creativity and bring this intricate design to life with your favorite yarn selections!
