I'll Remember April
Discover the beauty of the Crescent Shawl, a stunning knitted accessory designed to be worked from the top-down, featuring a delicate lace edge that adds an elegant touch to your wardrobe. This versatile shawl is perfect for any occasion, whether you're looking to keep warm on a chilly evening or simply want to elevate your outfit with a unique piece.
The shawl boasts intricate lace stitches that are worked on the right side (RS) only, making it easy for you to flip to the wrong side (WS) and simply purl all stitches. This technique allows you to create a beautiful texture without unnecessary complications.
When completed, the Crescent Shawl comes in two sizes: the medium size measures approximately 70 inches wide by 12.5 inches tall (178 cm x 32 cm), while the large size measures a generous 78 inches wide by 14 inches tall (198 cm x 35.5 cm). This makes it a perfect accessory that can be draped over your shoulders or wrapped around your neck, providing both style and warmth.
To ensure a beautiful finished product, the gauge for this shawl is 16 stitches and 34 rows per 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm) square in stockinette stitch after blocking. This gauge measurement is crucial for achieving the desired dimensions and look of your shawl.
The construction method entails knitting from the top edge towards the bottom, allowing for a seamless flow into the stunning lace edge at the bottom. This simple yet effective technique enhances the visual appeal and showcases your knitting skills.
Skills required to complete this project include the ability to make increases and work with lace, making it a suitable challenge for intermediate to advanced knitters.
