Curlew over Salcombe, shawl

Looking for a delightful getaway spot on the stunning coast of Devon? Salcombe is the perfect place to unwind. Built on a picturesque hill, the buildings and lush trees create a layered landscape above the serene inlet, adorned with charming small boats. As you gaze upon this scenic locale, you'll envision the Curlew bird soaring gracefully over Salcombe, offering a breathtaking view of the quaint summer homes and star-like crafts gliding across the smooth, dark waters.

Introducing our exquisite triangle-shaped shawl knitting pattern, designed to be knitted in any type of lace or fingering weight yarn. You can use a variety of yarn options, including tonal, solid, ombre, self-striping, or variegated. For this gorgeous shawl, you can opt for a single yarn (either lace with approximately 700 yards or fingering with around 950 yards) or add stripes using a complementary solid color. For the striped option, you will need about 600 yards for the main color (MC) and 150 yards for the contrasting color (CC) if you choose lace, or approximately 850 yards for fingering weight (200 yards for CC). Additionally, this pattern calls for around 500 beads, sized either 6/0 or 8/0. You can choose to use the same beads throughout your garment for a cohesive look, or mix and match with various colors. Whether you decide on 45, 90, 133, or 184 beads, the choice is entirely yours, allowing for a unique handmade accessory that's as special as Salcombe itself. Enjoy the creative process and transform your knitting project into a stunning pièce de résistance that evokes the beauty of Devon's coastline.
