Karukell Shawl

Discover the beauty and craftsmanship of traditional Estonian construction techniques and intricate stitch patterns with our stunning Karukell Shawl knitting pattern. As you immerse yourself in this creative project, not only will you craft a beautiful shawl, but you will also gain insight into the rich history of Estonian lace, known for its delicate designs and cultural significance. This engaging shawl knitting experience is perfect for both seasoned knitters and enthusiastic beginners alike!

The Karukell Shawl is knit seamlessly in one continuous piece, starting with the elegant center panel, followed by a stunning lace edging picked up and knitted around the entire shawl. A Garter Stitch border elegantly frames the entire center panel, while an additional Garter Stitch border skillfully separates the Karukell Pattern from the captivating Greta Garbo Pattern within the center. Unlike traditional Estonian lace edges, which can require complicated finishing techniques, the innovative design of the Karukell Shawl features a lace edge that is worked in the round, simplifying the process and allowing you to enjoy the knitting experience even more. Each row is lengthy, providing a meditative knitting rhythm, with significantly less finishing required at the end for a quick completion.

This comprehensive pattern is fully charted, making it easy to follow and perfect for those familiar with charted instructions. The clear and well-organized charts offer guidance through the intricate stitch patterns, ensuring your knitting journey is both enjoyable and rewarding.

It’s important to note that the yarn used in the sample shawl is no longer available. However, we have curated a selection of high-quality yarn substitution suggestions in the Kit Builder below, allowing you to choose the perfect yarn for your Karukell Shawl project. Embrace the art of lace knitting and create a cherished piece that showcases the timeless beauty of Estonian lace.
