Gridlac Shawl

The Gridlac shawl is a stunning and versatile accessory that is knit in one continuous piece using the easy and engaging technique known as entrelac. Once the main body of the shawl is complete, a lovely border is created by picking up stitches along the edges and knitting a few rows of garter stitch on each side, adding a polished finish to your project.

This unique pattern features individual squares that are worked one at a time, starting from the bottom tip of the shawl and working your way upwards. As you advance through the rows, you will skillfully pick up stitches from the previous squares, attaching them as you knit new ones. This interactive knitting process is so captivating that you may find yourself uttering, "Just one more square!" time and again as you become immersed in the rhythm of the pattern—making it enticingly addictive!

For those looking to elevate their knitting skills, this project serves as an excellent opportunity to practice the backwards knitting technique. By mastering this method, you can knit each square without having to turn the shawl, making the process even more efficient and enjoyable. If you're not yet familiar with backwards knitting, fear not! There are numerous helpful YouTube videos available that demonstrate this technique in detail, making it accessible even for beginner knitters.

Whether you are an advanced knitter seeking a new challenge or a beginner ready to learn an exciting technique, the Gridlac shawl pattern is the perfect choice. Dive into this beautiful project today and experience the satisfaction of creating a one-of-a-kind accessory that showcases your knitting prowess!
