Calm

These days, we all crave quick gratification—something to calm our nerves and soothe our spirits during stressful times. If you're looking for a delightful and easy project, I designed this beautiful shawl using DK weight wool in a lovely light color, which allows the intricate pattern to shine through effortlessly.

This shawl features a unique construction technique that utilizes turns without any wraps! Yes, you read that right—no wraps at all. The turning happens at equal intervals in the stockinette section above the deep lace edging and just before the top lace insertion, making this project simple and stress-free. It's perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters looking for a relaxing yet rewarding knit.

Thanks to the use of size US 9/5.5mm circular needles, this shawl works up quickly, allowing you to enjoy the satisfaction of completing your project in no time. Once again, it's fast and easy peasy, giving you that instant sense of accomplishment.

To accommodate various knitting styles and preferences, I have written out the charted rows for you, in case you find working from a chart to be overwhelming. For all the fellow knitters who love charts, rest assured that a clear, easy-to-follow chart is included as well. This pattern is an excellent way to finally put that DK stash you’ve been holding onto to good use!

As we navigate through these challenging times, I wish you all good health and well-being. Remember to take some time for yourself—grab your needles, knit this shawl, and enjoy a moment of creativity and calm. Stay safe and happy knitting!
