Eden Prairie

Introducing the Eden Prairie Shawl, an exquisite piece inspired by the beauty of Prairie-style stained glass. This unique shawl offers a modern interpretation of that intricate design, skillfully translated into a stunning knitted fabric. Worked from top to bottom, the construction method of Eden Prairie sets it apart—with the shawl beginning with two elegantly crafted triangles that are seamlessly joined by a striking diamond motif. As you knit, the fabric grows through alternating stripes on one side and then the other, creating an engaging rhythm that you'll love.

Designed to replicate the colorful stained glass effect, a simple 10-row modified intarsia border enhances the visual appeal and character of the shawl. The entire piece is constructed in garter stitch, ensuring that there are no purls in sight, making it the perfect project for knitters who appreciate a wonderfully squishy finish. Each stitch results in a cozy and warm accessory, perfect for adding a touch of style to any outfit.

When it comes to yarn requirements, you'll need approximately 365 yards each of Oak and Winter Wheat, alongside 175 yards of Onyx and 105 yards of Sequoia to complete your Eden Prairie Shawl. This specific yarn combination ensures that the colors come together beautifully, reflecting the allure of stained glass.

Plus, for those looking to explore their creativity further, Eden Prairie can be completed without any intarsia technique. The outermost border will consist of two long, elegant rectangles with a charming small diamond at the bottom point, providing versatility in your knitting journey.
