Corinthian Colonnade
Introducing the Corinthian Colonnade Shawl: a stunning crescent-shaped accessory that reflects the elegance of grand architectural beauty. This design aims to evoke feelings of admiration and appreciation for exquisite craftsmanship, reminiscent of a charming colonnade adorned with intricately detailed columns and a lavish entablature. Every stitch is an invitation to embrace the art of knitting and bring true beauty into your wardrobe.
The Corinthian Colonnade Shawl uses 400-700 meters of fingering or sport weight yarn, making it a versatile project for knitters with varying levels of experience. To achieve a delightful lacy effect that showcases the delicate pattern, we recommend using a needle size that suits your tension. For those looking to customize their shawl, it can easily be enlarged by adding additional repeats, providing endless opportunities for creativity. The pattern is fully charted, allowing for an easy and enjoyable knitting experience.
The stunning red shawl sample utilized 110g of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in the vibrant Tart colorway, made from 100% merino wool, offering 420 yards (384 meters) per 100 grams. This project was knitted on 4 mm (US 6) needles, resulting in a lovely blocked size of approximately 58 x 145 cm (23 x 57 inches). The gauge achieved is 17 stitches per 10 cm in stockinette stitch, ensuring a beautiful finish.
For a softer pastel look, the exquisite white-pink shawl was created using one skein of Kauni Wool 8/2 Effektgarn, a 100% wool yarn with an impressive yardage of 660 yards (604 meters) per 150 grams. This shawl was also crafted on 4.0 mm (US 6) needles, yielding a blocked size of around 64 x 155 cm (25 x 61 inches). The gauge for this version is a slightly looser 16 stitches per 10 cm in stockinette, offering a different but equally captivating texture.
