Hearthfire
Discover the Hearthfire Shawl, an exquisite asymmetrical triangular shawl that is thoughtfully knit on the bias, making it a unique addition to any knitting portfolio. This stunning piece showcases a richly textured body complemented by two distinct cable patterns adorning the bottom edge, elevating its aesthetic appeal. The shawl begins with a meticulous provisional i-cord cast-on, allowing for flexibility and style, from which additional stitches are picked up to form the beautifully crafted shawl body.
One of the standout features of the Hearthfire Shawl is the absence of long purl rows! The body, where the majority of increases take place, utilizes a clever slipped stitch pattern that eliminates the need for purling, making this a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels.
This pattern requires 700 (930, 1160, 1390) yards [640 (848, 1060, 1270) meters] of fingering weight yarn. The sample shawl was beautifully crafted using 930 yards (848m) of Serendipitous Wool Guru yarn, which consists of 75% Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) and 25% Nylon in the enchanting colorway "Kissed by the Sun." This yarn choice ensures that the shawl has great drape and stitch definition.
For best results, we recommend substituting a yarn with excellent drape and stitch definition. Choosing a solid, semi-solid, or slightly tonal yarn is ideal to ensure that the intricate cable stitches stand out beautifully.
Important Note: Both written and charted instructions are included in the pattern, making it accessible and easy to follow.

Add this stunning shawl to your collection and wrap yourself in warmth and beauty!
