Dovetail shawl
The Dovetail Shawl knitting pattern is an exquisite choice for knitters seeking to create a beautiful and versatile accessory. This shawl is cast on at one wing tip with just a few stitches, gradually expanding into a stunning triangle with a slightly asymmetrical shape. Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, the unique colorwork is made simple through an easy slip stitch pattern, allowing you to use two different colorways of self-striping yarn. The result is a captivating design where the shifting colors keep your knitting engaging and your fingers busy! The size of the Dovetail Shawl is flexible and easily adjustable based on the yardage available, making it perfect for crafting a lovely scarf or a larger shawl in any dimension you desire. This pattern is particularly beginner-friendly, as it allows you to work with just one color per row, making the color work much easier than it appears. For reference, the shawl sample showcased measures 60" x 27" and is made using black/rainbow Kauni yarn, requiring 75 grams each of two colorways. If you prefer something smaller, the scarf sample, knitted with Noro Silk Garden Sock, measures 44" x 23" and also uses 75 grams each of two colorways. The Dovetail Shawl pattern includes both visual charts and comprehensive written instructions for the colorwork, ensuring clarity and ease of use. Any fingering weight wool with a long color repeat is perfect for this pattern, but you can also experiment with one self-striping yarn combined with a solid color for striking results.
