Fall Blessings
2020 has proven to be an incredibly challenging and intense year for many of us. As we transition deeper into Fall, it's essential that we take the time to relax, unwind, and search for the blessings in our lives.
During this reflective season, why not wrap yourself in a beautifully crafted scarf or shawl featuring lovely colors, flattering lines, and a delightful twist? This easy-to-knit crescent scarf or shawl is perfect for using your favorite light-weight gradient yarn or even a collection of scrap yarns.
The pattern begins with a unique garter tab cast-on, setting the stage for a soothing knitting experience. The design incorporates repeated sections of stockinette stitch paired with a simple 4-row lace pattern, allowing for meditative knitting that promotes relaxation and mindfulness. You have two options for sizing or can easily adjust it to fit your preferences and style.
The size of each section and the final shawl can be customized to match your tastes perfectly. Additionally, keep in mind that the amount of yarn required may need to be adjusted based on your design choices.
**Gauge:** To achieve the desired fabric, aim for 21 stitches x 28 rows = 4” (10cm) in stockinette stitch before blocking, and 16 stitches x 28 rows after blocking. This ensures that your knitwear maintains its shape and drape beautifully.
Embark on this knitting journey and create a stunning piece that is not only stylish but also provides warmth during the cooler days ahead. With the gentle rhythmic flow of stitches, this crescent scarf or shawl promises comfort, creativity, and a personal touch, making it the ideal project as we embrace this unique Fall season.
