Las Playas

Introducing the stunning ‘Las Playas’ shawl, a beautiful knitting pattern inspired by the captivating Spanish landscape and the exquisite Spanish wool utilized for the sample. Its design, reminiscent of sand ripples on the beach, is triangular in shape and features an intricate all-over lace pattern that gives it a cabled appearance. This unique combination makes ‘Las Playas’ not only a stylish accessory but also a lovely project for knitters looking to enhance their skills.

The showcased version of the Las Playas shawl is crafted from just three skeins of a soft, wooly, rustic yarn known as ‘La Rinconada,’ sourced from the fleece of multi-hued Spanish merino sheep. This delightful yarn comes in the beautiful Niebla colorway and is produced by a small family business, ‘Wool Dreamers.’ They prioritize eco-friendly practices, ensuring that each skein reflects their commitment to sustainability while offering high-quality and luxurious fibers.

To achieve a polished finish that complements the graphic design, a stretchy bind-off technique is employed. The pattern is designed with ease in mind, featuring fully written-out directions accompanied by accurate stitch counts, a detailed schematic, and a user-friendly chart—making it accessible for knitters of all experience levels.

*Depending on the yarn type (DK-Aran) and your gauge, you will need approximately 711-820 yards (650-750 meters) to complete the Las Playas shawl. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern is perfect for creating a stunning piece that showcases the beauty of Spanish fibers and design.
