Gokyo

$6.00

High in the breathtaking Himalayas, the tranquil turquoise waters of the Gokyo Lakes offer a serene contrast to the majestic peaks that define this iconic landscape. The Gokyo Shawl captures this beauty in its design, evoking the diverse and stunning landscapes encountered throughout Nepal.

This exquisite shawl is crafted using a luxurious yak blend yarn, a tribute to the hardy yaks that carry goods across the rugged terrain of the Himalayas. The Gokyo Shawl features a captivating two-color design, using fingering weight yarn to create a delicate yet striking piece. It begins with a textured short row section, where the combination of knits, purls, and slip stitches ingeniously creates the illusion of vertical stripes. Importantly, each row is worked in only one color, ensuring clarity in your knitting experience.

Following the textured section, the shawl transitions into garter stitch stripes and beautiful eyelet lace, culminating in an elegant knitted-on border that enhances the shawl's overall aesthetic. The instructions provided for the body of the shawl are written for simplicity, while the edging section offers both written and charted guidance, catering to knitters of all skill levels.

For this remarkable project, you will need Yarn Love Mr. Darcy, a blend of 60% merino, 20% silk, and 20% yak, with an impressive yardage of 400 yards per skein (3.5 oz or 366 m/100 g). You will also need:

  • Color A (CA): 400 yards (366 m) in a stunning Ocean Blue
  • Color B (CB): 400 yards (366 m) in a luxurious undyed shade

The Gokyo Shawl is a perfect knitting project whether you are a beginner eager to learn or an experienced knitter seeking a new challenge. Evoking the peaceful beauty of the Himalayas, this shawl is destined to be a cherished addition to your wardrobe or a thoughtful gift for a fellow knitting enthusiast. Embrace the art of knitting and celebrate nature's wonder with this beautiful Gokyo Shawl pattern!
