Leaf-Edged Half Circle Eyelet Shawl

Introducing our stunning colorful shawl pattern, perfect for knitters looking to create a beautiful accessory! This shawl is intricately knit from the top down, utilizing a clever pattern that forms a graceful half-circle. The body of the shawl is crafted in one continuous piece, effortlessly blending colors and textures, while the exquisite lacy leaf border is added afterward for a touch of elegance. To complete this gorgeous shawl, you'll skillfully pick up stitches along the top edge and finish off with a delightful picot bind-off, giving it a polished look.

For this project, I used nearly 2 full skeins of the vibrant Lang Mille Colori Baby merino yarn, which boasts 415 yards (380 meters) of sumptuous softness for the body. Additionally, less than half of a skein of the exquisite Manos Fino silk/wool blend (approximately 100 yards/90 meters) was used for the intricate edgings, ensuring a luxurious finish to your shawl.

Once blocked, the overall dimensions of the completed shawl will measure a generous 42x20.5 inches (107x52 cm), making it the ideal size to drape elegantly around your shoulders or wear as a stunning wrap. This pattern is designed for intermediate-level knitters, providing an enjoyable challenge. However, beginners may find the edgings a bit tricky, so it’s recommended to gain some experience before attempting this project.

If you choose to experiment with a different brand of yarn for the body, be sure to check the self-striping pattern to ensure the results will meet your artistic vision. The playful colorways used in this pattern are Lang Mille Colori Baby in the vibrant shade of 845.0039 and Manos Fino in the beautiful hue of Topaz.

Embrace your creativity and skill by creating this colorful shawl that is sure to turn heads. Start your next knitting adventure today with this enchanting pattern!
