COMPASS SHAWL: A Stunning Knitting Pattern
Elevate your knitting skills with the beautifully crafted Compass Shawl! This stunning design features diagonal rib stitching, elegantly contrasted with textured ribboned stockinette. The result is a dynamic fabric that showcases an intricate interplay of textures. When knit in the luxurious Hinterland Range, this shawl displays a subtle yet striking contrast in two tones, creating visual lines and patterns inspired by the crests of gentle waves.
YARN DETAILS IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT YARDAGE: If you choose to substitute a different yarn than the Hinterland Range, please be aware that you may require extra yardage. The unique properties of various fibers and resultant gauges can significantly affect your project's needs.
For this shawl, we recommend using Hinterland Range yarn, which is made from 50% Canadian Rambouillet and 50% Alpaca. Each skein contains 198 yards (181 meters) and weighs 112 grams (3.95 ounces), classified as a worsted weight yarn.
---> You'll need 2 skeins in the Main Color (MC), shown here in the warm Honey color, or approximately 396 yards (362 meters) of worsted weight yarn.
---> Additionally, you'll require 1 skein in the Contrast Color (CC), which is beautifully depicted in Snow, or approximately 198 yards (181 meters) of worsted weight yarn.
NEEDLES REQUIRED For the Compass Shawl, a 5.5mm / US 9 long circular needle is recommended. Make sure to use the needle size needed to obtain the correct gauge for your shawl.
ESSENTIAL NOTIONS Gather a set of Stitch Markers (9 in total), a Removable Marker, a Yarn Needle, and optional Blocking Wires (recommended for achieving the perfect finish).
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Once blocked, your beautiful Compass Shawl will measure approximately 80 inches (203 centimeters) across the wingspan and 35 inches (89 centimeters) deep, offering a generous and elegant wrap that is perfect for any occasion.
