In Vino Veritas

Discover the beauty of Slippery Knits with our captivating pattern for the In Vino Veritas shawl. This stunning accessory combines the elegance of stripes, intricate lace, and delightful texture to create a chic, versatile piece perfect for any knitting enthusiast. The main section of this small shawl features an easy-to-work snowdrop lace pattern in two contrasting colors, offering both visual interest and a perfect canvas for showcasing your favorite fingering or sock yarns. Following the lace, you’ll find a snug ribbed section adorned with a delicate row of eyelets, transitioning smoothly into the classic crescent shape achieved through clever short rows.

For those who are feeling adventurous, feel free to switch things up! You can create a unique look by using a single variegated skein instead of two different colors, or by experimenting with more than two colors in your striped section. The In Vino Veritas shawl is an ideal project that requires just 280 yards (256m) of the main color (MC) and 120 yards (110m) of the contrasting color (CC), making it a fantastic and manageable knitting endeavor.

After blocking, your finished shawl will boast impressive dimensions, measuring 50 inches (127 cm) along the top and 14.5 inches (37 cm) in depth from the top edge down to the center of the bottom edge. The shawl's side edge will elegantly drop to 9 inches (23 cm) in depth, ensuring it drapes beautifully across your shoulders.

For the stunning shawl pictured, we recommend using Knit Picks Gloss Fingering, a luxurious blend of 70% merino wool and 30% silk, with a generous yardage of 220 yards (201m) per 50g. Unleash your creativity and elevate your knitting skills with the In Vino Veritas shawl — a perfect addition to your handmade wardrobe or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one!
