Karuna

Discover the enchanting world of Karuna, a captivating choose-your-own-adventure texture and lace triangle shawl pattern. This beautifully designed shawl begins with a zigzagging knit and purl pattern, creating a striking visual foundation that transitions seamlessly into one of Naomi Parkhurst’s exquisite lace designs. You have the flexibility to choose between two stunning lace options: one that ripples, echoing the dynamic zigzags from the first part, or another that flows into graceful diamonds, reminiscent of the shawl’s elegant beginning.

What makes the Karuna shawl truly unique is its adaptable sizing. Each segment of the pattern can be worked to any size or knitted until your yarn runs out, allowing for creative freedom. This design is perfect for a range of yarns, from lace to sport weight, and is best suited for solid, semi-solid, or gradient shades that highlight the intricate lacework.

The name "Karuna" is derived from the Sanskrit word for kindness, embodying the hope that through the process of knitting, we can cultivate more space for kindness in our lives and the lives of others. This shawl not only serves as a stunning accessory but also as a meaningful reminder of compassion in action.

When it comes to yardage, the requirements are flexible: approximately 300 meters of yarn will yield a small, delicate shawl, while about 1000 meters will create a much larger, more dramatic piece. Whether you prefer to follow a written pattern or work from charts with helpful notes, the Karuna shawl is designed to accommodate your style and skill level.
