Haystack Mountain Shawl

$5.00

This stunning triangular shawl begins with a top-down construction, featuring strategic increases at the edges and center back to create a beautifully shaped piece. As the shawl develops, wings are formed by increasing into a ribbed edging, seamlessly working the new stitches in an elegant stitch pattern that incorporates its own increases. The shawl continues in a captivating traveling rib pattern for both its body and wings, ensuring a cohesive design throughout. The unique construction of this shawl not only enhances its visual appeal but also provides an ergonomic shape, making it incredibly comfortable to wear while preventing it from slipping off your shoulders.

To facilitate your knitting experience, stitch markers are recommended to be placed between the stitch pattern and rib sections. Additionally, using different colors of stitch markers at the center of each pattern section helps keep your work organized. After completing a few rows, you may choose to place a locking stitch marker on the right side (RS) of the shawl, as the right side and wrong side (WS) of the fabric can appear quite similar, thus helping you maintain your knitting’s orientation.

This pattern is designed with a loose gauge, which allows for a beautiful drape in the final fabric. However, for those looking to customize their shawl, substituting a DK or worsted weight yarn will offer a slightly different fabric drape and texture, providing even more creative possibilities. The sample in the pattern is crafted with the luxurious Swans Island Natural Colors Merino Silk Sport, showcasing the beautiful sheen and softness of the yarn.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, this shawl pattern offers a fulfilling project that results in a gorgeous accessory perfect for any wardrobe. Explore the suggested substitute yarns listed below to find the ideal match for your perfect shawl. Embark on a knitting journey and create a lovely, wearable piece of art!
