Diamond Lanes
Elevate your knitting projects with our exquisite triangular shawl, featuring geometric lace that creates textured diamond lanes leading gracefully upward and outward. This simple yet stunning design is perfect for knitters of all skill levels who want to add a unique piece to their accessory collection.
Techniques & Skills Used: This pattern incorporates essential knitting techniques such as knit/purl, increasing/decreasing, and easy lacework. This user-friendly pattern is provided in both fully written form and a charted format, making it accessible for knitters who prefer different methods of instruction.
Finished Size: The completed shawl measures approximately 52 inches in length and 21 inches in depth, but the pattern is fully customizable, allowing you to adjust the size to your preference and needs.
Recommended Yarn: For this beautiful shawl, we suggest using Seven Sisters Arts Apex yarn (comprised of 60% superwash merino wool, 20% yak, and 20% silk; with a yardage of 400 yards/366m/100g). You will need just one skein or around 400 yards of a wool blend fingering-weight yarn that offers excellent drape. The sample, as detailed in the pattern, utilizes the entire skein, so it’s advisable to have some extra yardage on hand for insurance or to easily enlarge your shawl if desired.
Other Materials Needed: For this pattern, gather the following supplies: a US size 5 (3.75mm) 32-inch circular needle, or a size that matches your gauge; three stitch markers; and a yarn needle for finishing touches.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit by ensuring you hit the following gauge: 20 stitches and 40 rows per 4 inches in garter stitch, and 18 stitches and 34 rows per 4 inches in the diamond lace pattern, after blocking. Checking your gauge is essential for ensuring that your shawl retains its beautiful shape and drape.
