Laplace (transformed)
Introducing a stunning, beautifully drapey shawl, expertly knit from the bottom up. This eye-catching shawl features a slightly curved shape, achieved through the artful use of short rows in the stockinette section, making it both a stylish and functional accessory.
Upon completion, you'll notice that the top of the shawl curls downward slightly to create an attractive rolled neckline. This unique design element not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds a touch of comfort, making it perfect for any occasion.
If you're looking to create a cozy, warm shawl for the colder months or a light, airy summer stole, the choice of yarn is yours! This versatile shawl can be knit using a range of yarn weights, from soft fingering to delicate lace. Don't hesitate to experiment with different types of yarn and needle sizes! I personally knitted the lace version using larger needles compared to the fingering version and absolutely loved the resulting effect!
The short row section of this shawl is crafted using German Short Rows, complete with clear, easy-to-follow written descriptions. For those who prefer visual aids, the bottom lace border is designed using detailed charts, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.
Interestingly, the name of this shawl doesn’t refer to how it’s worn; instead, it pays homage to a complex area of mathematics that always puzzled me: The Laplace Transform. I decided to take the concept of “transform” and turn it into something beautiful and artistic!
This beautiful shawl is shown in two stunning yarns: Drops Alpaca (fingering weight, in a vibrant blue) and Zitron Traum Seide (lace, in a rich brown). To help you on your knitting journey, we’ve included suggested yarns below to inspire your own creations.
