Laneus shawl

Introducing the beautiful Laneus Shawl, a stunning sibling design to the beloved Laneus Pullover. Named after the Latin term for “woolly,” this exquisite crescent-shaped shawl is expertly knit from the top down using sport weight yarn, making it the perfect accessory for any seasons. The Laneus Shawl features a harmonious blend of sections, including garter stitch, a textured pattern, and two unique floral inlay sections using engaging colourwork techniques.

Material Requirements:

MC (Main Color): You will need approximately 135 (75) grams of fingering weight yarn combined with 1 strand of lace weight silk-mohair—about 75 (42) grams or around 675 meters (738 yards) of any other sport or DK weight yarn. If you prefer a smaller size, you will need about 345 meters (410 yards) to match the gauge for the smaller version.

CC (Contrasting Color): For the floral inlay colourwork, gather around 20 meters (22 yards) of any fluffy, loosely spun, or unspun contrasting colour yarn to beautifully highlight your design.

Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 16 stitches and 28 rows in 10 cm (4 inches) measured over stockinette stitch, worked flat after blocking, and 15 stitches and 36 rounds over 10 cm (4 inches) on garter stitch, also worked flat after blocking. The use of 4.5 mm (US 7) needles is recommended for optimal results.
