Goldenoak
Introducing the Goldenoak shawl, an exquisite textured triangular shawl thoughtfully designed for knitters who love to explore vibrant color combinations. This stunning pattern begins with a relaxing stockinette stitch that invites you into the world of knitting, gently interrupted by occasional garter ridges that add subtle visual interest. A striking decorative section introduces the second color, creating a beautiful interplay of hues. The design then transitions to a captivating section of mosaic knitting, featuring slipped stitch cables that elegantly float over the fabric. Finally, the shawl is finished with a wonderfully textured lace edge, inspired by a secret code lace stitch crafted by renowned designer Naomi Parkhurst.
The Goldenoak shawl is perfect for those who enjoy experimenting with speckled yarn, ideally pairing it with a solid or semi-solid contrast to bring your design to life. This pattern is compatible with fingering weight yarn and is particularly suited for a solid color alongside a complementary variegated yarn. One of the best features of this pattern is that gauge is not critical—feel free to select the needles that yield a fabric you adore, making it a versatile project for knitters of all skill levels.
This adaptable shawl allows you to customize the size according to your preferences. Both the initial yoke and the intricate lace sections can be adjusted to any size, ensuring that your Goldenoak shawl is uniquely yours.
