Franziska

Introducing Franziska, a delightful traditional triangular shawl pattern that is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. With its easy-to-follow stitch patterns, even novice knitters will find joy in creating this lovely accessory. You begin with a classic garter stitch cast-on (detailed in the pattern) and then proceed to increase stitches on every right-side (RS) and wrong-side (WS) row. The beauty of this technique lies in its flexibility, allowing you to continue knitting until you've used up every last bit of yarn—no waste, just creativity!

Measurements: This gorgeous shawl measures approximately 55 inches (140 cm) in length and 21½ inches (55 cm) in width, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

Materials Needed:

• Any Merino wool with a yardage of 328 yards (300 meters) per 100 grams; you'll need 1 skein in a main color (MC) along with 4 additional colors of your choice (designated as colors A - D).
• (For reference, I used a hand-dyed merino yarn from Seehawer & Siebert, which adds a unique flair to the shawl.)
• US size 10 circular needles (4.0 mm) or any size needed to achieve your desired gauge.

Whether you’re looking to create a cozy wrap for cooler evenings or a stunning gift for a loved one, the Franziska shawl pattern provides an enjoyable knitting experience. Get started today and discover the joy of knitting a beautiful, sustainable accessory with your favorite Merino wool yarn!
