Glencoyne Dale Celtic Shawl
Do you adore intricate Celtic cables? Look no further! This cuddly wrap is not only generously sized but also versatile, serving as a delightful travel rug or a cozy throw for your living space. With a little creative vision, you can effortlessly expand it into a full-sized blanket by knitting two or even three widths. Alternatively, feel free to experiment with the charming fish motif in any design you desire!
The entire pattern is fully charted, making it easy to follow along as you knit. Due to the wrap's width, you will find that the left half of each chart segment needs to be joined with the right half. Don't worry—this is simple! You can either glue the segments together or lay them side by side for convenience.
Required skills include all the fundamental techniques like knit, purl, k2tog, ssk, lifted increases, and basic cable stitches. The pattern provides detailed instructions for starting and finishing your closed-ring cables, although it does not cover advanced cabling techniques.
To achieve the best results, use any DK yarn that boasts excellent stitch definition and blocks effortlessly. For your reference, the sample was crafted using 650 g of Drops Karisma in a lovely Grey Purple shade, which enhances the Celtic design beautifully.
Please don’t be intimidated by the number of pages in this pattern—the extensive length is due to its complete charting and the inclusion of instructions in two languages, making it accessible to even more knitting enthusiasts.
Inspiration for this unique design comes from a captivating stone carving located near Ullswater, adding a touch of art and history to your knitting project.
Whether you're looking to create a stunning new piece for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this Celtic cable wrap is sure to impress. Embrace your love for knitting with this beautiful pattern today!
