Frozen Skies
Frozen Skies Shawl Pattern is an exquisite asymmetrical triangular shawl, designed in an elongated and slightly curved shape for an elegant drape. This stunning accessory is skillfully worked on the bias, allowing for a unique sideways knitting technique. The shawl's overall silhouette and distinctive stepped edge are achieved through simultaneous decreases on one side of the knitted fabric, while a set of knitted cast-on stitches on the opposite side gradually reduces the stitch count to beautifully form a triangle.
Crafted with versatility in mind, the Frozen Skies Shawl can be knitted at various gauges, enabling you to experiment with different textures and effects based on your personal knitting style. This adaptability makes it suitable for knitters looking to customize their project.
Finished Measurements (blocked): This eye-catching shawl features a wingspan of 75 inches (190 cm) and a depth of 19 inches (48 cm) at its widest part, with a cast-on edge measuring 40 inches (100 cm). These dimensions create a large, wrap-worthy accessory that can be worn in multiple ways or as a cozy layer on cooler days.
Gauge: The recommended gauge is 18 stitches x 36 rows over a 10cm x 10cm (4in x 4in) square in garter stitch using 3.75mm (US #5) needles, when blocked. While achieving this gauge is suggested for consistency, it's important to note that the gauge is not critical; variations in final dimensions and yardage may occur based on personal knitting tension and yarn choice.
Yardage Required (approximate): This pattern is designed for fingering or 4-ply weight yarn, requiring approximately 365 yards (334 meters) for both color A and color B. This gives you the flexibility to select colors that inspire you and contribute to a stunning visual impact.
