Dáiríne Stole

After enjoying a lovely sunny week in Trondheim this March, I thought spring had finally arrived. However, I was in for a surprise as several inches of snow fell unexpectedly! The relentless snow and cold weather only deepened my longing for spring, inspiring me to create this stunning shawl. Introducing DÁIRÍNE, a beautiful stole that draws its name from the Irish Gaelic word "dáire," meaning "fruitful" or "fertile." This elegant shawl is expertly knit in three individual pieces, which are skillfully grafted together using the renowned Kitchener stitch, ensuring a seamless finish. Each side, A and B, is constructed from the bottom up, while the captivating center section is worked in the round, resulting in intricate and eye-catching details throughout. For those looking to achieve the perfect fit, please note that the gauge mentioned above is relatively loose, created with 3mm needles. I recommend that tight knitters consider moving up a needle size to ensure a comfortable and fluid drape. One of the fantastic features of this pattern is its versatility—if you desire a longer stole, it can be effortlessly adjusted by increasing the number of vine chart repeats in sides A & B, allowing you to customize it to your liking. Whether you're preparing for chilly evenings or searching for a fashionable accessory to complement your spring wardrobe, the DÁIRÍNE shawl is a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Explore this pattern today and immerse yourself in the joy of knitting with this stunning design that captures the essence of spring, no matter the weather!
