Karyai
Named after the feminine forms that adorn ancient Greek architecture, the Karyai shawl evokes the grace and beauty that finishing touches provide. Imagine stepping beneath hand-hewn marble arches, with the soft echoes of footsteps resonating off the intricate work of master craftsmen; this essence is beautifully captured in the sweeping drape and tidy lines of this cozy shawl design.
Worked from the top down to create a semicircle shape, Karyai is not only warm and wearable but also distinctive in its appearance, making it a captivating addition to any knitting enthusiast's collection.
This shawl features a unique mosaic slip stitch pattern that creates an intricate edge while remaining easy to master. Impressively, the technique requires you to use only one color per row, eliminating the need for stranding and making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels!
Karyai is the first of 9 stunning patterns included in my new book,
Karyai - Classical Beauty Meets Modern Forms
This collection prominently features the beautiful Outlaw Yarns 'Bohemia Sport', which lends itself to rich textures and colors. (Be sure to check the last picture for a sneak peek at all the designs included in this fantastic collection!)
Out of the 9 patterns, 8 will be available as individual downloadable PDFs, while 1 exclusive pattern can only be found in the book. Keep an eye out; these patterns will be released on Ravelry over the next 8 weeks! As a bonus, purchasing the e-book gives you early access to all 9 patterns—one day ahead of the general release!
