Embrace the warmth and comfort of snuggly, soothing garter stitch with the exquisite Craghill Shawl by Cheryl Toy. This stunning, lightweight shawl is perfect for year-round wear, effortlessly transitioning from cool evenings to chilly winter days. Knitted from the top down and starting from the center back, the Craghill Shawl features delightful eyelets, playful garter stripes, and a unique tile-like motif that enhances its visual appeal and texture.
Finished SizeOne size fits most: 74” (188 cm) wide and 33” (84 cm) deep, making it an ideal accessory to wrap around your shoulders or drape elegantly over your outfit.
YarnFor this beautiful shawl, we recommend using Hudson + West Co. Weld yarn. You will need 3 skeins in charcoal (natural dark gray) for the main color (MC), 2 skeins in aspen (natural white) for the first contrast color (CC1), and 2 skeins in gold leaf (green-yellow) for the second contrast color (CC2). This high-quality yarn will ensure your shawl is both soft and durable.
NeedlesTo create the Craghill Shawl, have on hand Size A (shawl body) needles in US 4 (3.5 mm) and Size B (for bind-off only) in US 5 (3.75 mm). Adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the correct gauge, ensuring a beautifully finished project.
NotionsYou'll also need a stitch marker (m) for keeping track of your stitches and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends. These small tools will help streamline your knitting process.
GaugeTo achieve the desired fit and look, aim for 20 stitches and 40 rows = 4” (10 cm) over stockinette stitch (St st) on the Size A needle. Additionally, for specific sections of this pattern, the gauge is 20 stitches and 44 rows = 4” (10 cm) over Chart A using the Size A needle.
Skills RequiredThis pattern is perfect for adventurous knitters who are comfortable with mosaic knitting, increasing, decreasing, and chart reading. Even if you're newer to these techniques, the beautiful results will motivate you to enhance your skills.
