Canyon Rim Shawl

Discover the captivating beauty of Utah’s canyon country through our stunning Canyon Rim Shawl knitting pattern. Inspired by the majestic landscapes of this unique region, this shawl design captures the essence of strong horizontal lines and towering arches, reflecting the grandeur of nature on a mammoth scale.

The Canyon Rim Shawl features a thoughtful shaping technique that gently hugs your shoulders, reminiscent of traditional shawls from the Faroe Islands. Renowned knitting expert Myrna Stahman elaborates on this delightful approach in her acclaimed book, Stahman’s Shawls and Scarves. This pattern includes a distinctive center back panel, complemented by a triangle panel on each side. Initially, each triangle is knit as two separate sections to properly contour to the shoulders, then seamlessly integrated to form a single elegant triangle. This innovative construction creates the shoulder-hugging fit you can admire in the accompanying images.

To add a touch of sparkle and sophistication, this shawl is adorned with seed beads. The beading process is simple—utilizing a small crochet hook—so there's no need for tedious bead stringing. This allows you to focus on the joy of knitting while enhancing the visual appeal of your finished piece.

Measuring 42 inches at the neck, 70 inches at the bottom edge, and 12 inches in length, the Canyon Rim Shawl is not only a beautiful accessory, but it also provides warmth and comfort for any occasion. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this versatile pattern is perfect for those looking to create a timeless shawl that captures the spirit of adventure and the artistry of nature.
