Et par 1 (shawl)
Discover the beauty of knitted elegance with the “Et par” shawl, a stunning addition to your knitting repertoire. The term “Et par” translates to “a pair” in Danish, symbolizing the perfect harmony of this shawl and my design, the “Et par 2 (Blanket),” which creates an exquisite matching set for Mother and Baby. This lovely shawl and lap blanket combination makes for an ideal gift for baby showers, maternity celebrations, or just because. Designed as Et Par 1, this shawl features longer ends that drape gracefully around the shoulders, ensuring that it stays securely in place without the need for a pin.
The pattern provides detailed instructions for two sizes of this captivating shawl—with the large shawl as the centerpiece. The measurements after blocking are an impressive width of 160 (245) centimeters and a length of 46 (63) centimeters, making it versatile for various occasions. Whether you are going for a casual outing or attending a formal event, this shawl adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
This beautiful shawl is knitted in one seamless piece, beginning at the top and elegantly flowing down to the intricate lace edge at the bottom. The pattern is crafted for knitters who are comfortable following written instructions as well as a lace chart. You'll need to know how to work increases and decreases and be familiar with short rows for this project. These skills will ensure that you create a stunning accessory that you can cherish or gift.
The pattern requires yarn with a gauge of 27 stitches per 10 centimeters, which translates to approximately 175-180 meters per 50 grams. For an exceptional finish, I recommend using Drops Baby Merino yarn, known for its softness and durability. Please note that this pattern does not include instructions for the matching blanket, nor details on yarn for finished items. However, the shawl can stand alone as a beautiful piece or complement the blanket beautifully when knit together.
Embrace the artistry of knitting with the “Et par” shawl pattern and create a fabulous accessory that will be cherished for years to come. Perfect for both novice and experienced knitters, this pattern will elevate your knitting skills and provide a delightful project to enjoy.
