Crayon Fade

Introducing the stunning Crayon Fade Shawl, a five-cornered masterpiece crafted specifically for avid knitters who love the rhythm of stockinette stitch worked in the round. This shawl begins in the center using the popular Judy's Magic Cast-On technique, allowing you to cast on several hundred stitches and work elegantly outwards. Thoughtful increases are placed strategically to create a flattering shape that drapes beautifully over the shoulders, making it not only visually striking but also practical for wear. A unique color fading technique is employed to achieve a seamless and smooth appearance, enhancing the shawl's aesthetic appeal.

The model shawl depicted here is in the small size, and to give you a sense of scale, the person modeling it stands at 180 cm, or 5’ 11” tall, showcasing how the shawl beautifully complements a variety of silhouettes.

Yarn Requirements: This pattern can be knit using either light fingering weight yarn held as is or 2/28NM lace weight yarn by holding three strands together for a luxurious feel. The model shawl was created using ColourMart Cashmere 2/28NM Lace Weight (approximately 2070 m per 150 g), and for those looking for an alternative, a light fingering weight yarn with around 460 m per 100 g will yield similar results.

For the model shawl, the chosen colors include color A in dark gray, color B in mid-gray, and color C in a vibrant yellow, resulting in a beautiful gradient effect that is perfect for showcasing your knitting skills.
