Dewdrops

Are you trying to decide whether to knit your next shawl from the bottom up or the top down? Let me help you with your choice! Introducing Dewdrops, a stunning shawl design that beautifully combines both knitting techniques.

This unique shawl begins with a delightful center triangle knitted from the bottom up, featuring a simple yet elegant eyelet pattern. Once completed, you'll bind off the triangle before picking up stitches along the edges to create a lace rib border, which is knitted from the top down using a contrasting color. The result? Each side of the lace rib presents a slightly different and captivating look, making Dewdrops truly one of a kind!

Dewdrops is specifically designed to showcase speckled and subtly variegated yarns, which means your center triangle with its droplet pattern will stand out beautifully. Pair your chosen yarn with a more solid colorway for the border to create a stunning visual contrast, resulting in a shawl that's perfect for any occasion.

**Yarn:** This shawl requires two colors of fingering weight yarn. The sample is crafted using La Bien Aimée Merino Singles (100% Merino; 366 m / 400 yds per 100 g), featuring the captivating colors Interstellar (C1) and Nebula (C2).

**Yardage:** For the best results, you'll need the following yardage: Color 1 (C1): 348 m / 380 yds, and Color 2 (C2): 147 m / 160 yds.

**Needles:** Use size 4 mm / US 6 needles for knitting this shawl.

Rest assured, all instructions for the Dewdrops shawl pattern are provided in a fully written format, making it accessible for knitters of all levels. Please note that this pattern does not include charts, allowing for an easy reading experience. With its engaging design and distinct knitting techniques, Dewdrops is the perfect project for those looking to express their creativity and skill.
