Fifteen Hundred Mini Shawl
Introducing the ‘Fifteen Hundred’ Mini Shawl, the perfect accessory for any knitting enthusiast! This delightful little knit is not only a joy to create but also a fun and rewarding project for knitters of all skill levels. As you immerse yourself in the rhythm of the textured pattern, you'll find this piece becomes a super relaxing knit that you can enjoy while watching your favorite shows or hanging out with friends.
The fabric of this charming mini shawl is nearly reversible and features a lovely three-dimensional quality, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Each side showcases its unique beauty, allowing you to wear it in multiple ways. This design draws inspiration from a collage I crafted using photographs of a stunning building I adore, known as ‘Torre America’s 1500’ in Guadalajara, Mexico, designed by the talented Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos. The architecture's intricate details translate beautifully into knitwear, making this shawl not just an accessory, but a piece of art.
**Yarn Requirements:** For this project, you will need approximately 239 meters of DK weight yarn. Choose a yarn that complements your personal style and brings the design to life!
**Needle Specifications:** Use the needle size recommended on your chosen DK weight yarn's ball band, typically aimed at achieving a standard tension of 22 stitches x 30 rows to 10 cm / 4 in. For instance, Sample One, illustrated in a beautiful grey, is knitted using Rowan Alpaca Soft DK with 4mm / UK 8 / US 6 needles, perfect for working flat. Sample Two, in a lovely green hue, is crafted from Rowan Pure Cashmere, requiring 3.75mm / UK 9 / US 5 needles for a luxurious finish.
Whether you're looking to add a stylish layer to your outfit or searching for a thoughtful hand-knit gift, the ‘Fifteen Hundred’ Mini Shawl is an exceptional choice. Dive into this enjoyable project and wrap yourself in the beauty of knitwear inspired by stunning architecture!
