Camp Wilkerson

NOTE: The Camp Wilkerson shawl requires between 200-350 yards of DK weight yarn in each color, depending on individual knitting styles. Please plan your yarn usage accordingly!

Introducing the beautiful Camp Wilkerson shawl, a cozy and stylish accessory inspired by the captivating colors and lines found in John Muir’s treasured Wilderness Essays. This delightful design not only pays homage to Muir's profound words but also brings together a harmonious blend of colors to create a stunning wrap that is both functional and fashionable.

This asymmetrical and arrow-shaped wrap is expertly crafted from end to end, beginning at the arrow point, which lends a unique twist to your knitting experience. Perfect for chilly evenings or as a statement piece on any outfit, the Camp Wilkerson shawl is your go-to accessory.

The pattern is created to utilize nearly the entire 250-yard skein of Splendid DK yarn (or any DK weight yarn of your choice, provided that the yardage meets the requirement) across the four selected colors. Get creative with your color combinations using the coloring sheet included at the end of the pattern, allowing you to design your signature statement piece that truly reflects your personality.

This shawl features alternating sections of garter stitch, stockinette, and a central eyelet panel, keeping the knitting process interesting and relaxing. Perfect for advanced beginners looking to expand their skills, this pattern offers a satisfying challenge while producing a beautiful finished product that you’ll be proud to wear or gift.
