Dew

Dew is an exquisite top-down shawl design that showcases a unique 5-wedge structure, making it both versatile and easy to wear for knitters of all levels. This beautiful shawl begins with a predominantly stockinette body that creates a smooth, elegant backdrop. It then transitions into a charming eyelet lace pattern, offering an intricate touch that adds depth and sophistication. To finish, Dew features a simple yet elegant picot edge, making it a stunning accessory for any outfit.

Whether you're knitting a Small Shawlette or a Large Shawl, this pattern requires approximately [437, 875] yards (400, 800 meters) of high-quality fingering weight yarn, ensuring a lightweight and comfy wrap. The Small Shawlette has been beautifully photographed using The Wool Barn Alpaca sock in Natural Gray and The Wool Barn Silk Sock in Petal, highlighting its luxurious appearance and texture.

For this pattern, you will need US 4 (3.5mm) 40" (100cm) circular needles, or any needles necessary to achieve the desired gauge. The gauge is 18 stitches and 34 rows per 4 inches/10 cm in stockinette stitch after strong blocking. While achieving gauge is not critical for this design, it may affect yarn requirements and the finished size of your shawl.

Additional tools you will need include a blunt tapestry needle for weaving in ends, 6 stitch markers for easy pattern navigation, and blocking wires to assist in achieving the perfect finish (optional). Embrace your creativity with Dew and enjoy crafting this stunning and versatile shawl that can elevate every wardrobe.
