Loop Shawl

Discover a joyful and delightful shawl pattern perfect for embracing the cozy vibes of Autumn! This charming shawl begins at the top, crafting a beautiful crescent shape that elegantly drapes around your shoulders. It features a classic garter stitch finish complemented by a sleek i-cord bind-off for a polished look. The design uses only one color of yarn at a time, while a contrasting yarn is artfully carried up the edge, seamlessly blending into the shawl's border.

Inspired by the popular Dot Shawl, this pattern aims to showcase variegated yarns in a fresh and unique way, ensuring their stunning colors shine through without overshadowing the overall design. The finished piece is not only visually striking, but also a fun and rewarding project for knitters of all skill levels.

For your knitting success, the pattern requirements are as follows: you will need a US 6 (4mm) and a US 4 or 5 circular needle, both at least 24 inches or longer. These circular needles are essential for managing the number of stitches; please note that the shawl is not knitted in the round.

To create the full-sized shawl, you will need 400 yards (or 650 yards for a larger shawl) of Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply yarn or any comparable fingering/sock yarn for the base color. For the lovely loops that give the shawl its unique flair, have 150 yards (or 200 yards for a larger shawlette) of contrasting Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply or a similar fingering/sock yarn on hand.

The sample shown is beautifully knitted in Miss Babs Yummy 2-ply, featuring Slate as the base color and Perfectly Wreckless as the contrast color for the loops. To finish your project neatly, don’t forget to include a tapestry needle for weaving in all those ends!
