Kubijii Estonian Shawl

Discover the beauty of our carefully crafted knit wrap pattern, which showcases an array of stunning Estonian stitches, both gathered and lace, expertly combined to create an eye-catching wrap. This pattern has been thoughtfully modified to include an edge knitted directly onto the wrap, making it more accessible for knitters who prefer this method of finishing. Additionally, you’ll find detailed instructions for an optional crocheted edging, allowing you to customize your project to your liking. For this wrap, I’ve chosen a heavier yarn compared to traditional Estonian shawls. You can use a heavy Fingering weight or light Sport weight yarn to achieve the best results and a cozy finish.

This pattern draws inspiration from my popular Damask Shawl pattern, incorporating gathered stitches and introducing the classic nupps characteristic of Estonian knitting. It's perfect for those looking to explore the intricate beauty of this technique.

Skill Level: Intermediate (a basic knowledge of lace knitting is assumed). This project is ideal for knitters eager to enhance their skills while enjoying the creative process.

To make your knitting experience as enjoyable as possible, the pattern features both charted and line-by-line written instructions for all stitches. While it is beneficial to be able to read charts, it is not necessary. The clear instructions will guide you through every step of your knitting journey.

You can confidently choose any heavy weight fingering or sport weight yarn for this lovely wrap pattern, ensuring a beautifully finished product. Best of all, you won’t need any crochet hooks unless you decide to embellish your shawl with the optional crocheted edging. Get ready to knit a stunning wrap that showcases your love of Estonian stitch work!
