Kanttarelli Shawl
Introducing the Kanttarelli Shawl—a beautifully crafted, arrow-shaped shawl designed to keep you both cozy and stylish. This exquisite shawl begins at one sharp corner and features an elegant increase of stitches along both sides, creating a stunning silhouette. The pattern combines the simplicity of garter stitch with the intricate beauty of delicate lace, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels. The pièce de résistance of this design is the final edge, worked in a two-color brioche stitch that adds a perfect finishing touch, showcasing your knitting prowess.
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Madeline Tosh Merino Light, a high-quality fingering yarn composed of 100% merino wool, with a generous yardage of 384 meters per 100 grams. To create your stunning Kanttarelli Shawl, you will need 2 skeins of your chosen main color, referred to as color A, and 2 skeins of the beautiful effect color, known as color B. This combination allows for remarkable color contrast and depth in your finished piece.
Needles: You will need a pair of US 6 / 4mm circular needles, at least 40” / 100cm in length. The longer needle is essential for comfortably accommodating the increasing number of stitches as your shawl grows.
Size: Once completed, the Kanttarelli Shawl boasts a generous wingspan of 217 cm, with a depth of 68 cm from the deepest point. This size makes it an ideal accessory for draping over your shoulders or wrapping around your neck for added warmth.
Gauge: To ensure your shawl turns out beautifully, aim for a gauge of 22 stitches x 44 rows per 10 cm of garter stitch after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for the size and drape of your finished shawl, so take the time to swatch before starting your project.
The Kanttarelli Shawl is not just a knitting pattern; it’s a chance to express your creativity through yarn.
