Embrace

Experience the delightful sensation of a warm and comforting 'alpaca hug' with our beautifully designed Embrace shawl knitting pattern! This exquisite shawl, crafted using relaxing garter stitch combined with textural broken rib sections, is designed to be worked from the top down, allowing it to form a graceful crescent shape that will drape elegantly over your shoulders.

Yarn Details: For the Embrace shawl, we recommend using Adagio Mills Alpaca 8 ply yarn, made from 100% premium Australian alpaca. Each ball offers 104 yards (95 meters) and weighs 1.75 oz (50 grams). In our sample shawl, we showcase three stunning colors: Colour A: Clouds (1 ball), Colour B: Concerto (1 ball), and Colour C: Stormy Grey (2 balls). This combination provides a visually appealing gradient that enhances the texture of the stitches.

Gauge Information: Achieve a cozy fit with a gauge of 14 stitches and 34 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch after blocking. While gauge is not crucial, it's important to note that differing gauge will impact the finished size, drape, and the total amount of yarn required for your Embrace shawl.

Techniques and Skills Needed: This knitting pattern utilizes several essential techniques, including the garter tab cast-on method, as well as basic knit and purl stitches. You'll also learn to increase and decrease stitches to enhance the shawl's shape. To achieve the best results, blocking is encouraged after knitting. Please note that the pattern is provided in written form only; we do not use charts, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.

Whether you are a seasoned knitter or a beginner, the Embrace shawl pattern offers a rewarding project that results in a warm, beautiful accessory perfect for chilly days or as a thoughtful gift. Download the Embrace shawl pattern now and wrap yourself in comfort!
