Cross Sea Shawl
Experience the beauty of a maritime phenomenon with our Cross Sea Shawl knitting pattern. Cross seas occur when two wave systems intersect while traveling at angles to each other, creating stunning, yet potentially hazardous ocean patterns. Fortunately, this unique shawl design captures that enchanting essence without any danger! The Cross Sea Shawl is a delightful and simple knit project featuring a few standout design elements, making it an ideal choice for quick-knit gifts or personal projects. Additionally, you can easily adjust the size by selecting heavier yarn and larger needles for an oversized shawl that enhances its beauty!
Techniques You'll Learn: In this pattern, you'll master various knitting techniques, including K2tog (knit two together), a provisional cast on, a twisted hem (tutorial included), cross stitches (tutorial included), yarn overs (YO), a twice-worked bind off, and wrapped and dropped stitches. These techniques not only enhance your skills but also add visual interest to your shawl.
Materials Needed: To create this stunning Cross Sea Shawl, gather 350 yards of fingering weight yarn; feel free to use heavier yarns for a larger, more substantial shawl. You will also need US5 (3.75mm) needles, waste yarn in the same weight as your main yarn, additional US5 or smaller needles for the provisional cast on pick-up, and a 3.75mm crochet hook for the provisional cast on. Don’t forget a needle to weave in ends and a stitch marker for effortless pattern tracking!
Whether you're knitting for yourself or crafting a heartfelt gift, the Cross Sea Shawl is sure to impress with its elegance and simplicity. Dive into your next project with this beautiful knitting pattern!
