Looking-Glass

Introducing The Looking-Glass Shawl, a stunning knitted wrap inspired by Alice’s whimsical adventures beyond the mirror. This beautifully crafted shawl invites you to step into an enchanting world as your eyes trace the reflective motifs that gracefully veer along an ever-lengthening edge. The design features strategic increases along one side, skillfully creating an acute triangle shape that adds elegance and depth to this modern accessory. The shawl employs intricate cabling techniques to form harmonious curves and lines, building a striking visual motif that captivates attention.

For this pattern, I chose Sweet Georgia’s Merino Silk Fine yarn, a luxurious blend known for its incredible softness against the skin and exquisite drape. The yarn combines 50% fine merino wool with 50% cultivated silk, providing both warmth and lightweight elegance. You will need just 2 skeins of this exceptional yarn in the color Tumbled Stone, with each skein offering 380 yards of versatile craftsmanship.

To create the Looking-Glass Shawl, utilize a 3.5mm 24" circular needle to achieve the perfect gauge, which measures 24 stitches x 32 rows in a 4" swatch (stockinette). The completed shawl/wrap measures an impressive 50" along the vertical edge and 30" at the top edge, making it an ideal accessory for layering over your favorite outfits.

Whether you're looking for a cozy addition to your wardrobe or a unique gift for a fellow knitting enthusiast, The Looking-Glass Shawl pattern is sure to inspire creativity and admiration. Dive into this engaging project and bring a touch of Alice’s magical world into your knitting journey!
