Kir Royale

Embrace the elegant charm of Kir Royale, a stunning shawl pattern that captures the essence of its namesake drink – heady, bright, and a true delight to both knit and wear.

This beautiful design features a unique slipped garter stitch pattern that creates a sumptuous, tactile texture across the body of the shawl, complemented by a wide cable border that gently folds in on itself, adding a touch of sophistication. The generous ribbed trim at the bottom gracefully flares out, giving Kir Royale its signature flowing silhouette.

Kir Royale is an ideal project for showcasing variegated yarns, particularly when crafted from an alluring merino/silk blend like Luna from Wollfaktor, which enhances the intricate stitches and vibrant colors. Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking for a delightful challenge, this pattern offers a satisfying experience.

This exquisite shawl is constructed in a series of thoughtfully designed steps. The process begins with knitting the textured body from the center of the top edge, expanding outward to create a beautifully draped fabric. Next, the captivating cable panel is skillfully worked across the shawl, gradually putting more and more stitches to rest as you progress. Finally, these resting stitches come together to form the luxurious ribbed edging that completes your masterpiece.

Rest assured, the Kir Royale pattern has been meticulously tech-edited and test-knitted to guarantee a smooth knitting experience. A sample of the shawl is showcased in the luxurious Wollfaktor Luna yarn, and we’ve also provided a suggested substitute yarn for your convenience.

Perfect for advanced beginners and seasoned knitters alike, the Kir Royale shawl pattern is sure to add elegance to your wardrobe or make a cherished gift for someone special. Dive into this delightful project and elevate your knitting collection with a pattern that’s as breathtaking as it is enjoyable to knit!
