Duchess Shawl

Introducing our stunning sideways asymmetrical shawl knitting pattern, designed to elevate your accessory collection with an allover lace pattern that adds both interest and texture. This beautiful project is perfect for knitters looking to create a show-stopping piece using luxurious sport-weight yarn, as recommended in this pattern. Alternatively, a fingering or sock yarn can also be a fantastic choice, allowing for versatility in your materials. The rich and vibrant color, such as this deep purple, will ensure that your finished shawl looks exquisite for any occasion, from casual outings to formal events. For this design, we recommend using one skein of Madelinetosh Pashmina, depicted here in the elegant colorway of Duchess.

This comprehensive knitting pattern includes everything you need to successfully complete your shawl, featuring detailed notes, an easy-to-follow diagram, a list of abbreviations, and full instructions that are presented in both written and charted formats. You will find that the clear structure of the pattern caters to knitters of various skill levels.

Once blocked, your finished shawl will measure approximately 29 inches (74 cm) at the deepest point and 51 inches (130 cm) along the top edge, creating a generous and cozy wrap that is perfect for draping over your shoulders.

The skills required for this project include increasing, decreasing, and knitting lace, making it an excellent choice for adventurous knitters who want to enhance their skills. You'll use a variety of stitches such as slipped stitches (sl), knit (k), purl (p), yarn over (yo), and more advanced techniques like single and double decreases (ssk, k2tog, SK2P, S2KP2), as well as knit front and back (kfb).

Whether you're knitting for yourself or crafting a heartfelt gift, this asymmetrical shawl pattern promises to be a delightful and rewarding project. Download your pattern today to start your journey in creating this gorgeous lace shawl!
