Havskum shawl

Havskum, the elegant Danish term for Sea Foam, beautifully describes this stunning long shawl design. The Havskum shawl features longer ends that drape gracefully around the shoulders, providing both warmth and style without the need for a pin. Perfect for any occasion, this versatile accessory can elevate your wardrobe effortlessly.

This exquisite shawl is knitted from side to side, showcasing a captivating lace edge at the bottom that is skillfully knitted on. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the unique asymmetric ‘wave pattern’ enhances the visual appeal, reflecting the serene movement of ocean waves and emphasizing the intricate lacework.

The pattern provides comprehensive directions for crafting a generous and long shawl, with measurements of 275 centimeters in width and 75 centimeters in height. It is tailored for a skilled knitter who can keep track of their stitch count using markers, follow both written instructions and charts, and proficiently execute increases and decreases. Additionally, knitters should be comfortable knitting a lace edge onto the main body of the shawl to achieve an elegant finish.

This knitting pattern calls for a yarn that achieves a gauge of 32 stitches per 10 centimeters, specifically a yardage of approximately 185-200 meters per 50 grams. We recommend using hand-dyed Silky Sock yarn from Chester Wool Company for the perfect drape and luxurious feel. Please note, this pattern does not include finished items, yarn, or any additional materials.

Whether you're creating it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Havskum shawl pattern captures the essence of Scandinavian knitting traditions and adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Dive into your next knitting project with the Havskum shawl and enjoy the gratifying experience of crafting your own beautiful accessory!
