Little Lovely

Having your heart on a string symbolizes profound feelings of love and sympathy. May your own heartstrings be gently tugged, nurturing warmth and connection, but may they never break.

Introducing the Little Love Shawl, a beautifully crafted heart-shaped shawl that captures the essence of affection and tranquility. This stunning piece features large sections of reverse stockinette stitch, designed specifically to showcase the beauty of variegated or tonal yarns. With the added flexibility of incorporating multiple hearts, the shawl can be easily adjusted in size to suit your personal preference. The pattern is charted, while the wrong side rows incorporate a delightful mix of knits and purls for an engaging knitting experience.

The variegated version of this enchanting shawl requires 2 skeins of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport Multi in Red Rover [100% Wool, 200yd/183m per 70g], expertly knitted on 3.5 mm (US 4) needles. After blocking, the shawl measures an impressive 155 x 40 cm (61 x 16 inches). The gauge is 19 stitches per 10 cm in stockinette, ensuring a beautifully crafted final product.

If you prefer a semisolid aesthetic, the alternate version of the shawl uses just 1 skein of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in the exquisite Mulled Wine [100% merino, 420 yd/384 m per 100g], created on 4 mm (US 6) needles. This variant measures 144 x 46 cm (56 x 18 inches) when blocked and has a gauge of 20 stitches per 10 cm in stockinette, resulting in a lovely drape and texture.

Please note that both shawls utilize almost all of the specified yarn, making it highly recommended to have an extra skein on hand for your knitting journey. Dive into the irresistible charm of the Little Love Shawl, and let it become a heartfelt addition to your knitting collection or a perfect gift for someone special.
