Final Encore

FINAL ENCORE was created from a deep inspiration to craft an exceptionally thick, generously sized shawl to envelop myself in warmth during an unexpected cold snap in New Zealand's winter of July 2021. This cozy shawl is ideal for keeping warm on chilly days or adding a stylish layer to your winter wardrobe.

FINAL ENCORE marks the conclusion of a delightful TRILOGY of DESIGNS, all expertly crafted to be worked TOP DOWN. Each of these beautiful shawls begins with a high stitch count, increasing in size until you reach the final edge where you will decrease ALL THE WAY to the end. The first two shawls in this exquisite TRILOGY are Encore and Encore 2, each offering unique features and styles that knitters will adore.

TECHNICAL INFO:

The DESIGN SAMPLE MEASUREMENTS for FINAL ENCORE are approximately 218 cm / 86’’ wide at the top and 58 cm / 23’’ deep (unblocked). These impressive dimensions make it a striking accessory that enhances any outfit.

The yarn quantity indicated above represents the total yarn length required when knitting this pattern using single stranded SUPER CHUNKY (bulky) yarn. If you choose to use double stranded DK yarn, which is the method I used to design and knit the shawl, you will need approximately 1136m in total (this totals 568m x 2). This versatile pattern also includes options for creating two smaller sizes, making it adaptable for different preferences and styles.

MEASUREMENTS for the smaller sizes (unblocked) are approximately: 192 cm / 76’’ wide at the top by 49.5 cm / 19½ ‘’ deep and 152 cm / 60’’ wide at the top by 41 cm / 16’’ deep. With these options, you can easily customize your FINAL ENCORE shawl to suit your needs and aesthetic!

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this pattern offers a rewarding and enjoyable project. Embrace the cozy warmth, aesthetic appeal, and flexibility of the FINAL ENCORE shawl, and make it a staple in your knitting repertoire today!
