Greenhouse shawl

Introducing the stunning Greenhouse Shawl, a beautifully crafted Art Deco-inspired piece that embodies elegance and style. This more-than-half-circle shawl features a unique organic lacy shape that blooms from the center, enhanced by a luxurious garter stitch body. The highlight of the Greenhouse Shawl is its enchanting flowery lace border, beautifully knitted in a contrasting color that symbolizes the blossoming of the design.

**Yarn Requirements:** To create the Greenhouse Shawl, you'll need 2 skeins of Malabrigo Sock yarn (100% merino), which provides an exquisite softness and drape. For the main color (MC), choose 2 skeins in **Turner** (440yd/402m per 100g/3.5oz), and for the contrasting color (CC), opt for 1 skein in **Natural**.

**Materials Needed:** For this project, gather the following materials: a 3.25 mm (US 3) 60-inch circular needle, 12 stitch markers, and a tapestry needle to weave in ends.

**Techniques and Skills:** This intermediate-level pattern will involve a variety of knitting techniques, including knit, purl, yarn over, k2tog, skpsso, invisible increase, and the popular Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off, which ensures a beautifully finished edge.

**Construction Details:** The Greenhouse Shawl is constructed from the top down, beginning with a convenient garter tab that allows for easy counting and alignment. Once completed, the shawl measures approximately 60 inches in width and 52 inches in height, making it a perfect accessory for any occasion.

**Gauge:** To achieve the desired drape and fit, maintain a gauge of 19 stitches = 4 inches and 34 rows (or 17 ridges) = 4 inches in garter stitch.

**Difficulty Level:** This pattern is classified as intermediate, making it ideal for knitters looking to expand their skills while creating a breathtaking accessory.
