Evening Grace
Discover the enchanting beauty of the *Evening Grace Shawl*, a captivating one-skein project that showcases your knitting skills beautifully. This exquisite shawl begins with a delicate, subtly beaded lace edging that seamlessly flows into a short-row stockinette body, culminating in a cozy garter edge. The colorway *Twilight*, often referred to as *Evening Grace*, mirrors the breathtaking hues just before sunset, adding to its charm and elegance.
Finished Size: 20” depth, 70” wingspan – the perfect dimensions for wrapping up on a chilly evening or showcasing your design as a statement piece.
Yarn: This pattern uses Avalon Springs Farm Pendragon, a luxurious yarn made from 100% Superwash Merino, providing a soft and warm feel. With 555 yards per 4 oz skein, our sample was knit in the colorway *Gadel The Speaker*, utilizing approximately 540 yards for the completed shawl.
Needles: To create your *Evening Grace Shawl*, you'll need a 32” circular needle in size 5 US (3.75mm) or a size that helps you achieve the desired gauge for your project. Remember, each knitter has their unique tension, so adjustments may be needed.
Gauge: The gauge is 22 stitches and 32 rows per inch in wet-blocked stockinette stitch. While achieving the right gauge isn't critical for this shawl, it does influence the yardage required and the overall drape of your finished piece.
Beading Requirements: To create the stunning lace edging as described in the pattern, you will need 243 6/0 seed beads. A beading tool or a small crochet hook that fits through the center of the beads will be essential for placing them accurately as you knit.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just beginning your crafting journey, the *Evening Grace Shawl* offers a rewarding project that beautifully blends intricate design with a cozy finish.
