Haunting Shawl

Embrace the enchanting allure of the Haunting Shawl, a captivating addition to your knitting repertoire and a perfect accessory for those who enjoy spending time in the lengthening shadows. This shawl is not only a stylish statement piece but also a versatile wrap that adds warmth and elegance to any outfit.

The Haunting Shawl features a unique slightly heart-shaped design, constructed similarly to a traditional top-down triangle shawl. However, this pattern boasts a faster rate of increase, resulting in a beautifully wide wingspan that curves gracefully around the wearer, making it the ideal wrap for all occasions. The provided instructions result in a generously large shawl, but don't worry—resize options are included to help you create the perfect fit just for you!

Designed for intermediate knitters, this pattern allows even seasoned knitters to enjoy a satisfying knitting experience. The body lace pattern is both fast and intuitive, making it a pleasure to craft for experienced lace enthusiasts. To add a touch of personalization, the shawl features a completely custom border, along with a unique crochet/knit bind-off technique, which unfolds effortlessly on your knitting needles, offering an interesting and stylish finish.

The sample shawl is showcased in a ghostly silver-grey, utilizing 960 metres (or 1050 yards) of DyeForWool fingering/BFL superwash yarn in the exquisite colourway, “Lab Rat Knocking on Heaven’s Door.” This project requires 3 skeins, though you can easily modify it to suit your needs. For a pop of color, consider the charming pink version crafted from Madeline Tosh yarn in the delightful posy hue.

Whether you’re looking for a stunning piece to elevate your wardrobe or a thoughtful gift for a fellow knitting enthusiast, the Haunting Shawl is sure to be an unforgettable project that will haunt your memories and inspire your creativity. Start knitting today and let the captivating beauty of this shawl envelop you in its embrace!
