Frosty Pines
Frosty Pines is a beautifully designed knitting pattern crafted to be worked flat (sideways), allowing for an elegant asymmetrical triangle shape. This unique shawl design features strategically placed stitches that are increased along one edge, creating a stunning visual effect. As you progress, you’ll seamlessly transition into 1x1 ribbing, making it a pleasure to knit. The combination of intricate lace patterns, stylish garter stitch stripes, and sporty ribbing lends this shawl a sophisticated yet casual vibe, perfect for any occasion.
Original yarn: The pattern calls for the luxurious Lanivendole A STORMY BLEND DK yarn, which is available in stunning colors. You'll need 2 skeins of the main color (C1), shown in the beautiful shade of Luce, as well as 1 skein each of contrast colors (C2 in Arcadia and C3 in Caramello). This exquisite yarn will enhance the texture and drape of your finished shawl.
Gauge: To ensure your finished project meets the desired size, here are the gauge requirements: You should achieve 16 stitches x 30 rows = 4” (10 cm) square in lace pattern 1 and lace pattern 2 unblocked. After blocking, the gauge changes to 14.5 stitches x 23 rows = 4" (10 cm) square. Additionally, in garter stitch, the unblocked gauge is 16 stitches x 32 rows = 4" (10 cm) square, while the blocked gauge shifts to 14.5 stitches x 27 rows = 4” (10 cm) square. Although gauge is not crucial for this project, variations can impact yardage and the final dimensions of the shawl.
With its elegant design and delightful textures, Frosty Pines is the ideal pattern for knitters looking to create a chic accessory that's both functional and fashionable. Grab your needles and yarn, and start your journey to crafting this stunning shawl!
