Enilorak

Introducing Enilorak, the beautiful autumn version of the beloved Karoline shawl. If you adored the Karoline but are looking for something warmer for those chillier days, Enilorak is the perfect choice for you. This stunning shawl is designed to keep you cozy while showcasing your knitting skills.

The unique triangle shape of Enilorak is crafted by starting with just a few stitches and then increasing continuously in every second row, making it an approachable yet rewarding project for knitters of all levels. You’ll love the striking horizontal lines created with two contrasting colors, which are knitted using Ito Shio held single. This technique adds depth and visual interest to your shawl, making it a standout piece in your wardrobe.

As a finishing touch, the intriguing vertical lines are applied instead of being knitted as intarsia. This process involves working faux seams at these positions, which not only helps maintain your design's integrity but also ensures the applied stitches sit at the same layer as the knitted ones. To complete the look, a crochet chain application adds even more charm, utilizing alternating contrast colors for a stunning visual effect. The included pattern features a comprehensive photo tutorial to guide you through each step.

For materials, you will need 1 cone of Shio by Ito (100% wool), featuring 480 meters (525 yards) per 40g. Additionally, prepare 2 skeins of Sensai by Ito (60% Mohair, 40% silk), providing 240 meters (262 yards) per 20g. You will also require residuals of 4g of each color Shio by Ito in two colors to complete your project. Alternatively, feel free to use any yarn that meets the specified gauge, allowing you to personalize your Enilorak shawl to your unique style.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, Enilorak is an exquisite project that will not only keep you warm but will also become a cherished staple in your autumn wardrobe. Don’t miss out on creating this gorgeous shawl—download your pattern today!
