Coral Reefs

Coral Reefs Shawl is a stunning two-colour asymmetrical triangular shawl that showcases a unique knitting technique. Crafted on the bias, this beautiful shawl features strategic decreases along one side and gradual increases on the other, allowing for a seamless reduction in stitch count as you progress. The knitting journey begins at the wide end of the shawl, culminating at the narrow tip with just a few remaining stitches left to bind off.

This exquisite shawl not only highlights the artistry of two-colour knitting but also incorporates specially designed selvage stitches exclusive to the two-colour shawls presented in the Island Knit Design pattern store. Each section of the shawl alternates between garter stitch patterns and contrasting colour eyelet rows, providing added visual interest and making the knitting experience both enjoyable and engaging. For knitters who prefer a simpler project, the Coral Reefs Shawl can be effortlessly adapted into a single colour version, making it a versatile choice for all skill levels.

Suitable for both cotton and wool, this shawl is perfect for any season. The sample featured is knit using sport weight wool and silk yarns in a size Small for a delicate finish. For those opting for a size Large, we recommend using Cascade Heritage Solids wool yarn combined with smaller size needles to achieve a beautifully crafted piece.

Whether you are looking to expand your knitting repertoire or create a stunning accessory for yourself or a loved one, the Coral Reefs Shawl is a must-try project that blends creativity and craftsmanship.
