Cordial Embraces

Introducing the exquisite “Cordial Embraces” shawl, a stunning crescent-shaped design featuring elegant clipped corners. This beautiful shawl is crafted side to side in one seamless piece, making it a perfect addition to any knitter’s collection. The wide border showcases intricate Japanese lace, highlighting a traditional leaf garland pattern that adds a touch of sophistication. The reverse stockinette stitch body creates a lovely contrast, and the pattern includes both charted and detailed written-out row-by-row instructions to cater to different knitting preferences. Utilizing short row shaping, this shawl has a delicate curvature that ensures it stays comfortably in place, making it ideal for wrapping around your shoulders during cool evenings or stylishly draping over an outfit.

“Cordial Embraces” is the result of a collaborative design effort with the renowned Dream in Color Yarn, ensuring that the yarn used enhances both the look and feel of this stunning piece.

Gauge: 19 stitches and 30 rows per 4” (10 cm) in reverse stockinette stitch, after blocking. Remember to save time by checking your gauge before starting your project. While achieving the perfect gauge is not essential, please note that using a different gauge may result in variations in the actual finished measurements and total yardage required for this beautiful shawl.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, “Cordial Embraces” offers an engaging project that combines beauty and functionality, making it a must-try pattern in your knitting repertoire!
