Lime Chamraj

Take a moment for yourself, brew a soothing cup of tea, and immerse yourself in the world of knitting with the Lime Chamraj Shawl. Inspired by a delightful variety of lime-scented green tea, this shawl captures the essence of zesty freshness and invigorating warmth—it’s both refreshing and calming, just like its namesake beverage.

The Lime Chamraj Shawl features a unique asymmetrical crescent shape that is designed through a combination of garter stitch and simple eyelet lace techniques. The alternating sections of eyelets and garter-stitch wedges are creatively shaped using short rows, providing knitters with a project that is both relaxing and intellectually engaging. The sweeping garter-stitch sections contribute to the shawl’s unusual and elegant profile, making it a standout accessory for any wardrobe.

This versatile pattern caters to a variety of knitters and is written using both metric and US terminology for ease of understanding. To enhance your knitting experience, the pattern includes both written and charted instructions for the eyelet pattern, ensuring that you can follow along comfortably, regardless of your preferred style of pattern reading.

Gauge: 20 sts × 40 rows (20 garter ridges) = 10 cm / 4" in garter stitch, blocked. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for a beautifully shaped shawl that drapes well.
