Gotha

Introducing Gotha (‘guh-hah’), an enchanting shawl pattern that embodies the Irish meaning of flourish, gesture, or attitude. This stunning, triangular shawl is designed with two primary objectives: to beautifully showcase a vibrant, variegated yarn and to indulge in creative fun with delightful tassels!

The Gotha shawl begins with just a few simple stitches and is worked in an engaging garter stitch pattern, featuring alternating stripes that progressively increase the stitch count as you knit. The design includes captivating columns of slipped stitches, using a single contrasting color, which enhance the visual appeal and draw the eye to the whimsical tassels attached at each point of the shawl. Additionally, you'll find tassels elegantly placed along the bound edge, adding a playful touch to this artistic piece.

To complete the Gotha shawl, you'll employ a sophisticated applied I-cord bind-off combined with a charming edging, ensuring a polished finish that frames your work beautifully. This shawl is not only a functional accessory but also a statement piece that can elevate any outfit.

For best results, maintain the suggested gauge of 22 stitches and 48 rows per 10 cm / 4” in garter stitch. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, the Gotha shawl is a perfect project that combines creativity and skill. Embrace the joy of knitting with this delightful pattern, and let your creativity shine!
