Clandestine
Clandestine Shawl Pattern is a beautifully designed triangular shawl that showcases modular construction, making it a perfect project for knitters of all skill levels. This stunning shawl is worked bottom-up in horizontal rows of intricate elements, allowing you to customize its size according to your preferences. As you knit each row, you will discover that it contains one more motif than the previous row, which adds to the shawl's unique charm. The best part? The yarn within each row is continuous, so there's no need to break it, allowing you to enjoy a smooth knitting experience.
With 7 elegant elements on top, the finished Clandestine Shawl measures approximately 140 cm wide by 48 cm tall and weighs about 116 g before adding the stylish trim. This gives you an estimate of about 4.15 g of yarn used per motif, making it easy to calculate your yarn needs. The yarn distribution between the main color (MC) and contrast color (CC) is fairly even, with a slight inclination towards using more CC yarn. The beautiful trim, crafted in black yarn, contributes approximately 30 g to the overall weight of the shawl.
If you're planning to create the Clandestine Shawl as shown in the picture, you'll need the following supplies: approximately 100 g of MC (about 400 meters) and 60 g of CC (around 240-250 meters). For the construction of the motifs, it's recommended to use short circular needles in the size range of 3.0 to 3.5 mm. For the final touch of the bottom trim, you’ll need the same needle size but on a long cord. While achieving gauge isn't critical for this project, I found that each motif measures approximately 20 cm by 12 cm.
Techniques used in this pattern include garter stitch, short rows, and decreases/increases, making it an excellent way to enhance your knitting skills. Whether you want a cozy accessory for yourself or a thoughtful gift for someone special, the Clandestine Shawl Pattern is a delightful project that merges creativity and functionality.
