If You Leave Shawl
Introducing an exquisite asymmetrical shawl pattern designed for DK weight yarn, with options for Sport and Fingering yarns for those seeking a smaller size. This unique pattern not only showcases your knitting skills but also incorporates a variety of techniques that elevate your crafting experience. You will learn to create stitches along the side of the stunning lace border edge, eliminating the need to pick up and knit stitches. This fun and innovative technique adds a delightful dimension to the overall design of the shawl. The pattern also features a twisted wrap stitch, intricate Front and Back Cross stitches (commonly known as Traveling stitches), and the opportunity to attach beautiful glass beads for extra flair. You'll engage in both motif and lace work to bring this gorgeous shawl to life. With 336 6/0 glass beads from Myuki #F463k included, you have everything you need to add charm to both colors of your project. Remember, if you prefer not to include beads, you can simply knit that stitch without them. As a tight knitter, I recommend checking your gauge or purchasing extra yarn to avoid any shortage. For visual learners, I've included handy links to video tutorials that will guide you through some of the key techniques you'll be using: - **Creating stitches along the lace edging:** [Watch the tutorial here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLUexQGhZE0) - **Twisted wrap stitch:** [Watch the tutorial here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8YzlRzqsfI) - **Working Back cross and Front cross stitches without a cable needle (Traveling stitches):** [Watch the tutorial here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqFGgIgETN0) Get ready to embark on a creative journey with this captivating asymmetrical shawl pattern that combines intricate lace work, beautiful bead application, and innovative knitting techniques.
