Low Tide Shawl

Experience the joy of knitting with these beautifully crafted shawls! The design features a sophisticated garter stitch area where the clever decreases, increases, and short rows work together for stunning overall shaping. This meticulous attention to detail ensures a fit that drapes perfectly on the shoulders.

At the heart of this pattern is the exquisite deep lace edging known as "Print o' the Waves," which is a traditional Estonian border. Knitters will find this lace technique accessible—not overly complicated—making it ideal for those with some knitting experience looking to expand their skills. While it’s not for absolute beginners, seasoned knitters will relish the challenge and the elegant result.

This pattern thoroughly guides you through each step, spanning multiple pages. Every row is meticulously written out for clarity, complete with stitch counts to help you keep track as you create your masterpiece. Additionally, the pattern includes several vibrant photographs, featuring close-ups of the intricate lace details, ensuring that you have a comprehensive visual guide to refer to as you knit.

The small shawl size utilizes approximately 600 yards of fingering weight yarn (we recommend Taiyo Sock paired with size US 6 needles). It measures about 9.5" wide, expanding to about 13" wide, and has a length of approximately 56" along the inner edge. For those seeking a larger option, the big size requires about 800 yards of DK weight yarn (Tosh DK works beautifully with size US 8 needles), measuring around 12" wide to about 16.5" wide and approximately 62" long at the inner edge.

You’ll love the versatility of this shawl, as it can be worn in a myriad of styles, whether draped over your shoulders or wrapped around your neck. Prepare for compliments and admiration as this beautiful piece naturally enhances any outfit. This shawl pattern is a must-have addition to your knitting collection, blending elegance and functionality seamlessly!
