Echo Azure

Echo Azure Shawl is a captivating knitting pattern that explores the enchanting interplay between variegated and solid yarns. Inspired by the beauty of a butterfly with frosty, iridescent wings, this shawl features an intricate design crafted using garter stitch, bold stripes, and delicate shell stitches formed with innovative knit-below techniques. The result is a stunning accessory perfect for adding a touch of elegance to any outfit.

Beginning from the upper right corner, the shawl is knitted on the bias, which allows for the creation of an asymmetrical triangle that not only drapes beautifully but is also incredibly comfortable to wear. The contrasting colors and textures make this project both visually appealing and enjoyable to work on. The design is completed with a charming shell-stitch border and a stretchy bind-off that ensures a polished finish.

This pattern is clearly written with both metric and US terminology, making it accessible for knitters around the world. While the pattern instructions are provided exclusively in written format, we’ve included a detailed step-by-step photo tutorial specifically for knitting the shell stitch, ensuring you can follow along easily and get the best results.

To achieve the best finish, the recommended gauge is 18 stitches × 36 rows (equivalent to 18 garter ridges) = 10 cm / 4" in garter stitch, once blocked. This gauge will ensure that your shawl has the perfect drape and texture.
