Fairfax

Introducing the Fairfax Shawl, a must-have accessory for chilly days! This stunning crescent shawl spans generously from side to side and is crafted primarily in luxurious garter stitch, making it the perfect companion for Spring and Autumn. Its lightweight design allows for easy draping around your shoulders, while in the Winter months, it can be styled as a cozy cowl, wrapping snugly around your neck. Fairfax's elegant texture and versatile style ensure it suits every body type and size, making it an ideal choice for both day and evening wear.

The Fairfax Shawl features a unique side-to-side construction, utilizing garter stitch combined with bias shaping to create beautiful "wings." The striking short-row center panel adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design, while the exquisite knit-on Shetland lace edging is seamlessly joined with the lower selvage edge as you knit. This seamless integration not only enhances the visual appeal of the shawl but also simplifies the knitting process.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, you'll appreciate the flexibility of this pattern. It can be blocked to be slightly larger or smaller according to your preference. After blocking, the shawl retains a lovely elasticity, meaning that additional lengthening is often unnecessary. Notably, the Fairfax Shawl is not a gauge-dependent pattern, allowing you to knit with ease. While test knits have shown that you won’t typically need more than 820 yards, be prepared to use up to 876 yards (200g) depending on your personal gauge.

Elevate your accessory collection with the Fairfax Shawl pattern and enjoy the comfort and style it brings, whether you're staying in or stepping out!
