En Fuego Shawl

The stunning En Fuego Shawl was named for its striking resemblance to a potbelly or wood-burning stove, with the intricate design evoking visions of rising plumes of smoke. As I showcased my knitting swatches to my husband, he suggested this fiery name, and it instantly felt perfect. This comfortable yet elegant top-down half square shawl is designed for knitters of all levels and includes both charted and written instructions, making the creative process enjoyable and straightforward.

This beautiful shawl pattern offers flexibility in material choices for knitters. For those opting for lace weight yarn, you’ll need 60g of Jade Sapphire Lacey Lamb, which provides an impressive 825 yards/754 meters in just one skein. We recommend using color 225 (red), or alternatively, you can select 700-750 yards (640-686 meters) of lace weight yarn to suit your style. If you prefer fingering weight yarn, try Knit Picks Gloss Fingering for a gorgeous finish. You will need two skeins, totaling 50g each, offering 220 yards/201 meters, accompanied by the recommended color Bordeaux, or around 440-500 yards (420-458 meters) of fingering weight yarn for a lovely drape.

When it comes to knitting needles, you’ll need to use a US 4 (3.5 mm) for lace weight yarn and a US 6 (4.0 mm) for fingering weight yarn to attain the desired stitch definition.

Finished Dimensions:
For the lace version, after blocking, the offered measurements are a generous 66 inches (167.6 cm) wide and 31 inches (78.7 cm) long at the center points. Meanwhile, the fingering weight version boasts a width of 54 inches (137.2 cm) and a length of 23 inches (58.4 cm) at the center points, also after blocking.
