Coral Palace Shawl

Experience the enchanting beauty of the Coral Palace Shawl, a stunning piece reminiscent of a fantasy castle nestled beneath the sea. This unique shawl design harmoniously combines shell shapes and organic forms, making it an exquisite addition to any knitting enthusiast's collection. Primarily crafted in a garter stitch, this shawl features a dramatic 13-stitch decrease shell pattern complemented by double yarn overs, resulting in a striking and distinctive look.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: 60 inches long and 15 inches tall at its widest point, this shawl is designed to drape elegantly around your shoulders, making it perfect for both casual outings and special occasions.

MATERIALS: To create the Coral Palace Shawl, you will need Madeline Tosh Twist Light yarn, a luxurious blend of 75% merino wool and 25% nylon, totaling 420 yards. The pattern uses approximately 92% of the skein when worked at the specified gauge, and the suggested color is "Peace of Paradise," which beautifully captures the ethereal theme of this design.

For your knitting tools, you will need a US #7 (4.5mm) 24-inch circular needle. We recommend using a 'sharp' or lace needle to facilitate the k13tog technique, which can be challenging but adds to the shawl’s intricate beauty. Don’t forget a tapestry needle for weaving in any loose ends!

GAUGE: The gauge for this pattern is 14 stitches and 30 rows equating to 4 inches in garter stitch after blocking. While achieving the recommended gauge is not crucial, it could impact your overall yardage, so be sure to keep this in mind as you knit.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, the Coral Palace Shawl pattern is a delightful project that brings together creativity, elegance, and a touch of whimsy.
