Lucienne

Discover a fresh perspective on knitting with the stunning new Lucienne Shawl Pattern. This gorgeous shawl is not just a project; it’s a statement piece that showcases bold colors and intricate designs, making it a delightful addition to your knitwear collection. Begin with the exquisite lace band at the bottom, expertly crafted to create an eye-catching foundation. As you knit upwards, you will be enchanted by a unique slipped stitch pattern that adds texture and visual interest. The shawl continues with a captivating wavy pattern, beautifully accented with contrasting lines that bring the design to life. The project is completed with a stretchy bind-off that provides a lovely finish, featuring a subtle contrasting edge for an elegant touch.

For this project, you'll need two types of yarn: C1 - a luxurious Pima cotton yarn, featuring an impressive 437 yards/100 grams per skein in a lightweight fingering yarn, and C2 - a vibrant DK weight cotton yarn, offering 125 yards/50 grams per skein. The combination of these yarns allows for a beautiful blend of textures and colors, ensuring your Lucienne shawl stands out.

Notions Needed: Ensure you have the right tools for success! You will need a US size 4 (3.5 mm) circular needle, ideally 36” (91 cm) in length for comfortable handling of your shawl. Additionally, gather 18 stitch markers to keep your project organized and help you navigate through the pattern easily. Don’t forget a tapestry needle or a crochet hook for those finishing touches that will complete your lovely shawl.

Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is essential for this project, with a target of 18 stitches and 22 rows per 4” when using fingering weight yarn in stockinette stitch. This gauge will ensure that your shawl drapes beautifully and fits perfectly.

Embrace the joy of knitting with this intriguing pattern that promises to spark your creativity and enhance your wardrobe. Happy knitting and enjoy creating your beautiful Lucienne Shawl!
