Caravel

This beautifully designed shawl utilizes a garter tab and traditional triangular shaping, making it a perfect project for both novice and experienced knitters. Throughout the shawl, increases are meticulously worked at the center spine and along each edge on every right-side row, ensuring a graceful and elegant silhouette.

What sets this shawl apart is its unique striped pattern, created by alternating sections of smooth stockinette stitch with eye-catching triple-wrapped stitches. Unlike conventional designs that follow a diagonal line of increases, this pattern features striking horizontal stripes that add a modern twist to the classic lace shawl aesthetic.

This unfussy, contemporary interpretation of a lace shawl is completed with a casual, curling edge of plain stockinette, reflecting the relaxed and easy-going attitude of the tropical island where it was inspired. It’s a comforting accessory for any occasion, perfect for draping over your shoulders on a breezy evening.

For a seamless knitting experience, it is recommended to choose a circular needle with a very smooth join, as the triple-wrapped stitches can catch at the junction where the cable meets the needle. This attention to detail will help you achieve a flawless finish on your project.
