Gracenotes
Introducing the Gracenotes shawl—an exquisite dk weight knitting pattern that beautifully combines artistry and practicality. This stunning shawl begins with a wide cast-on edge, gracefully tapering to a more narrow end. The uniquely designed cabled edge becomes elegantly elongated as the shawl develops, creating an eye-catching focal point. The color melt feature of this pattern allows for an array of vibrant, colorful combinations, giving you the perfect canvas to showcase your creativity. Alternatively, you can opt for a sophisticated look by using a single color (or even two!) to truly make this shawl your own. For an extra touch of whimsy, consider adding fun pom-poms made from your leftover yarn scraps, adding a personalized flair to your project!
Finished size: This striking shawl measures 28” wide at the cast-on edge and a generous 80” long, making it the perfect accessory to wrap up in during cooler months or to layer over a stylish outfit.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 16 stitches and 20 rows equaling 4” in seed stitch after blocking.
Suggested Yarn: We recommend using Madelinetosh tosh dk (225 yds) for this project—approximately 3 skeins will work beautifully to create your one-of-a-kind piece.
Sample shown in: The sample shawl is displayed in the stunning colors of Beautiful Liar, Gracenotes, and Grasshopper, showcasing the lovely blend of hues available for your own project.
Needles: You will need a US 9 (5.5mm) circular needle, at least 32” in length, to comfortably accommodate your stitches while knitting.
Notions: Don't forget your essential knitting tools—1 stitch marker, a cable needle, and a yarn needle to expertly weave in your ends.
Optional: Enhance your shawl with playful pom-poms using a pom-pom maker, which can be a delightful addition to your finished piece.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, the Gracenotes shawl pattern is perfect for adding a custom touch to your accessory collection. Explore your creativity, experiment with colors, and enjoy the meditative process of knitting this beautiful design!
