Colour Block Shawl
Introducing this enchanting shawl knitting pattern, designed for knitters of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced enthusiasts. This project features a simple yet elegant design that showcases the beauty of the knit stitch throughout, making it not only comfortable to wear but also a quick and satisfying project to knit. For beginners who may not be familiar with wraps and turns, we provide easy-to-follow instructions that exclude these techniques. However, for those experienced knitters who prefer using wraps and turns, alternative instructions are also available. Utilizing wraps and turns can significantly reduce the appearance of holes in your shawl, resulting in a polished finish.
To successfully complete this stunning shawl, you will need the following materials to bring your vision to life:
- 10 balls of Nurturing Fibres Eco Cotton (2 balls for each color – approximately 1.5 balls used per segment, with each color yielding about 160 meters).
- Choose from a vibrant color palette: Seashell, Pickled Ginger, Sunkissed Coral, Ruby, and Bordeaux for a bright, eye-catching look.
- Alternatively, select a serene selection of blues: Mist, Aqua, Anvil, Cornflower, and Charcoal for a calming aesthetic.
- For a warm, earthy tone, consider shades of brown: Vanilla, Sunglow, Karoo Lands, Wine Barrel, and Coco to create a cozy effect.
Additionally, you will need a US Size 6 (4mm) circular needle, measuring 80cm long, to facilitate your knitting. You can create a beautiful drape with this design, perfect for any occasion.
To ensure your shawl turns out beautifully, please note the gauge: 5.5 stitches in stockinette stitch equals 1 inch. This gauge will help you achieve the right fit and drape that makes this shawl truly special.
Whether you're looking for a new project to challenge your skills or a charming gift for a loved one, this shawl pattern is a delightful choice. Dive into the world of knitting with this easy-to-follow shawl pattern, perfect for expressing your creativity and style!
