Harakeke

Discover the beautiful art of knitting with our Harakeke Shawl pattern, a delightful project that begins with just 3 simple stitches and expands gracefully along one edge to create an elegant triangle shape. This pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, especially those looking for an easy yet visually stunning knit. The unique motifs are developed from a straightforward, repeating stitch pattern that beautifully unfolds from the top edge. Inspired by nature, the design features a charming twig motif that transforms into an intricate leaf pattern, reminiscent of the tall flower stalks of our native harakeke, or New Zealand flax.

A Note on Size: Before you begin, please note that if you have less yarn than specified or if you're working at a looser gauge, you might not have sufficient yarn to complete the full-size shawl. To assist you, I’ve included additional instructions for crafting a slightly smaller version of the Harakeke Shawl. You can determine your yarn usage by checking how much yarn you have remaining throughout the project, omitting some row repetitions if necessary, and working with an alternative edge chart. This way, you can still achieve a stunning result that suits your available materials.

All in all, the Harakeke Shawl is a perfect project for those who wish to combine creativity with the calming rhythm of knitting. Whether you're making it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this shawl will surely be a beloved addition to any wardrobe.
