Land Mermaid shawl

Introducing the stunning triangular Land Mermaid shawl—a knitting pattern that begins with a classic simplicity before introducing a delightful jazzy twist, much like a beloved pop song that features a key change. This shawl is perfect for knitters seeking both comfort and elegance, featuring a soothing stocking stitch center combined with eye-catching contrasting lace panels. The result is a cozy accessory that is also a bit fancy, ideal for any occasion.

This shawl is an excellent opportunity to showcase your contrasting fingering-weight yarns, making it a fantastic stashbuster project where you can finally utilize that special pairing you've been saving for just the right pattern. Whether you're working with vibrant hues or muted tones, the Land Mermaid shawl will highlight the beauty of your yarn.

The lace sections of the shawl are fully charted, making it easier for you to follow along. The pattern includes detailed instructions for crafting both a smaller and a larger version of the shawl, so you can choose the size that best suits your preferences. In the pattern, you will find pictures of both sizes—the green shawl represents the compact size, while the exquisite deep red shawl showcases the larger size.

It serves as a great transition into more intricate patterns while still being manageable and enjoyable.

The sample shawl was beautifully knitted in hand-dyed yarn, but this versatile pattern has been tested with a variety of 4-ply yarns, making it adaptable to your preferences.
