Departure

Introducing the Departure Shawl, a beautiful and inspiring knitting project designed for those embracing new beginnings or returning to their roots. This shawl embodies the spirit of departure, encouraging knitters to break free from the ordinary and escape into the world of creativity. Feel the strength awaken within as you unwind from the constraints that hold your heart, mind, and spirit captive.

The main body of this stunning shawl is skillfully knit sideways in a captivating boomerang shape using a luxurious variegated sock yarn. To complete your stylish shawl, the border is picked up and knit with an innovative yet easy-to-execute construction technique, utilizing either a gradient yarn or a set of mini skeins. The eyelet section of the shawl offers you the option to knit it plain for a classic look, or elevate it further by adding beads to each eyelet for an enchanting sparkle and texture.

For this exquisite project, you'll need a total of 890 yards (or 180 grams) of fingering weight yarn. I personally selected 1 skein of striking variegated sock yarn by Witch Candy Yarn in the eye-catching Birch Fire colorway for the main body of the shawl. For the delightful border, I used 4 mini skeins of sock yarn from AJHC Wools, featuring 1 mini skein each in the captivating colorways of Artemis and Loki, and 2 mini skeins in the deep, rich hue of Hades.

This Departure Shawl is not just a project; it’s an experience. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, it makes for a stunning accessory that will be the centerpiece of your wardrobe. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a heartfelt gift for a loved one, this shawl is sure to inspire and bring joy. Join the journey of creation and embrace the freedom that comes with knitting your very own Departure Shawl.
