Colleen's Cover (blanket or circle shawl)
Introducing our stunning 72-inch diameter blanket/shawl, designed for ultimate coziness and enjoyment in both use and knitting! This beautifully crafted piece features an intricate design that incorporates cables, eyelets, and lace, all knit in the round for a seamless experience. With easy-to-follow instructions, this pattern comes together quickly using US#11 knitting needles.
The centerpiece of this creation is an eight-pointed cabled star that flows into elegant eyelet twists, forming a captivating sampler that, when viewed as a whole, resembles a lovely snowflake pattern. This exquisite design not only adds a touch of sophistication to your home decor but also makes for a perfect gift for loved ones during the cozy winter months.
For the sample, we recommend using approximately 850 yards of Knit Pick’s Wool of the Andes Tweed, a high-quality worsted-weight wool. The yarn's rich blue tones and Donegal Tweed speckles enhance the overall aesthetic, creating an inviting look that embodies the essence of home and hearth comfort.
