I Smell Snow: A Modern Garter Stitch Shawl Pattern

Calling all garter stitch lovers! Get ready to immerse yourself in a delightful new project with our latest pattern, I Smell Snow. This modern take on traditional Shetland haps combines simplicity with elegance, making it an enjoyable and engaging knit for crafters of all levels.

In this innovative design, we've omitted the traditional lace border in favor of a unique combination of garter stitch and eyelets. The eyelets are worked in a gradient, allowing you to relax while creating a visually stunning piece. Each section flows effortlessly into the next, and before you know it, you’ll be excited to switch colors and watch your shawl come to life!

The shawl features two mirrored sections; this means you’ll repeat the same engaging steps from the first section with one twist – you’ll be decreasing in pattern as you knit! This clever design ensures that the rows get shorter and shorter, providing a satisfying and dynamic project that’s perfect for those cozy evenings spent on the couch.

Not only is I Smell Snow a fantastic shawl to wear, but it also offers a wonderful opportunity for creativity. Once you’ve completed the knitting and bound off your last stitch, you can opt to add stylish mini tassels, just like I did in the sample. These playful tassels add the perfect finishing touch to your shawl and are a lot of fun to make!

This pattern is ideal for those quiet nights in or for when you want to unwind with your favorite TV show while knitting. So gather your yarn and let’s create something beautiful together! Download the I Smell Snow pattern today and enjoy the therapeutic art of knitting with garter stitch.
