Hamilton Shawl

Introducing an elegant and versatile light, wearable wrap that is designed in a unique V shape, featuring a gracefully cut-off point. This shawl is an excellent alternative to traditional rectangular stoles for draping around your shoulders and offers superior ease compared to more complex shapes like crescents or half circles. Beautifully crafted with a scalloped lace edging along the lower and side edges, the design incorporates decreases that create striking 135-degree angles which define its silhouette. The body of the wrap showcases a delightful interplay of textures featuring simple bands of lace motifs, stockinette stitches, and garter stitches, making it an engaging project for knitters of all skill levels.

This pattern provides comprehensive instructions in both written and charted formats, ensuring you have the guidance you need to create this stunning accessory. It comes with two size options: a charming shawlette size, perfect for those looking for a lightweight wrap, and a larger size for those wanting additional coverage. Finished Size: The shawlette measures approximately 40 inches (100 cm) for the lower edge and is 15 inches (37 cm) deep, while the larger size spans about 55 inches (140 cm) along the lower edge and reaches up to 17 inches (43 cm) deep, all after hard blocking. The smaller size is ideal for a delicate shawlette, and you'll find the instructions for the larger size clearly noted in parentheses.

Note: This pattern is designed using three colors of yarn, with each color requiring approximately 20-25g. However, you have the creative flexibility to use a single color or even incorporate a gradient yarn for a stunning ombre effect in your shawl. The yarn quantities specified are based on a single skein for each color, making it easy to gather your materials. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this beautiful wrap adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit!
