Diaphanous

Introducing the exquisite Diaphanous shawl, a delightful arrow-shaped accessory that combines elegance and comfort. This stunning piece is knit using Dimond Laine Birdie yarn at a loose gauge, resulting in an incredibly lightweight and ethereal style that is perfect for any occasion. The Diaphanous shawl is worked entirely in garter stitch, incorporating simple increases and decreases to create its distinctive arrow shape. This design makes the project not only beautiful but also a relaxing knitting experience for crafters at all skill levels!

Yarn: You'll need 1 skein (approx. 290 yd) each of 3 colors from Dimond Laine Birdie (74% Alpaca / 26% Silk, 328 yd / 50 g), for a total of approximately 870 yards. The sample shawl featured the enchanting colorways Sleepover, Rainy Daze, and Barred, which blend beautifully to enhance the shawl's delicate appearance.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 14 sts and 28 rows per 4” (10 cm) in garter stitch, after blocking, to ensure that your shawl turns out as intended. A proper gauge will help you capture the lightweight drape that makes the Diaphanous shawl a must-have accessory.

Tools: Gather your supplies, including size 9 (5.5 mm) 24” (60 cm) circular needles (or the size needed to meet the gauge), 2 stitch markers, and a tapestry needle. Having the right tools on hand will make your knitting project smoother and more enjoyable.

Finished Measurements: Once completed, the Diaphanous shawl measures approximately 85” / 216 cm in length and 18” / 46 cm in height. Its generous size allows for a versatile range of styling options, from a cozy wrap to a decorative layer over your favorite outfit.
