Grand Prix shawl

Introducing the stunning Grand Prix Shawl pattern, a beautifully asymmetric crescent-shaped shawl designed to be worked from the top edge down to a unique short row edging. This exquisite piece features strategically placed increases at both ends, allowing for a graceful drape and an eye-catching silhouette. The pattern showcases a delightful combination of relaxing garter stitch and intricate lace short row inserts, creating an uncommon shaping that sets this shawl apart from the rest.

Materials Needed: You will need approximately 880-970 yards (805-1060 meters) of any sock or fingering weight yarn to complete this project. For my sample, I utilized two full skeins of Artesano Definition Sock yarn, displayed in the vibrant colorway called Inferno.

Additionally, you will require a 47” (120 cm) or longer circular needle in US size 5 (3.75 mm), or another size that allows you to achieve the correct gauge. You will also need 1 stitch marker and a darning needle for finishing touches.

Gauge (after blocking): Please ensure your gauge matches 17 stitches and 54 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch to achieve the best results for your Grand Prix Shawl.

This pattern is ideal for knitters with an intermediate to experienced skill level, perfect for those looking to challenge themselves while creating a fashionable accessory. The Grand Prix Shawl also makes a thoughtful gift, allowing you to showcase your knitting skills while providing warmth and style to loved ones. Whether you are attending a special event or simply enjoying a cozy day in, this shawl will surely be a treasured addition to your wardrobe.
