Carrick Bend Shawl

Do you love engaging in fairly mindless knitting that yields stunning results? Look no further than the Carrick Bend Shawl, a delightful pattern that allows you to accessorize your accessory with a touch of Celtic flair. This shawl starts with a small garter-stitch tab, then grows elegantly with increases on the edges, resulting in a beautiful crescent shape. The main body features just enough garter stitch to keep you entertained and highlight your progress, making it the perfect project for both novice and experienced knitters alike.

This pattern is ideal for showcasing vibrant yarns, as it beautifully complements crazy dye jobs with its clean lines and subtle texture. The shawl's striking picot bind-off adds a pop of color, elevating the entire piece. What truly sets the Carrick Bend Shawl apart, however, is its innovative closure. The shawl is finished with a decorative 4-stitch I-cord tied into a classic Carrick Bend mat Celtic knot, which is meticulously sewn onto one end of the shawl. This charming knot conceals a hidden button on the back, allowing you to fasten the shawl closed while adding a unique artistic element.

Whether you choose to knit a shawlette, a full-sized shawl, or a cozy shlankette, this pattern is easily adaptable to accommodate any yardage you have on hand. Embrace your creativity and make a stunning accessory that combines both style and functionality.
