Lyrata

Introducing the Lyrata Shawl, a stunning flowing semi-circular design featuring a mesmerizing textured lace pattern that beautifully expands as it ripples towards the outer edge. This captivating shawl is the perfect project for knitters looking to elevate their skill set while creating a unique accessory.

The innovative knit/purl stitch pattern is thoughtfully crafted to be worked on both sides; however, all intricate lace work is reserved exclusively for the right side. This design choice ensures that the knitting experience remains as relaxing as possible, making it suitable for knitters of all experience levels.

The Lyrata Shawl offers incredible flexibility in terms of yardage. You can easily adapt the pattern by skipping certain sections to save on yarn or repeating sections for a more elaborate design. If you find yourself with extra yarn at the end, feel free to extend the last few rows for an even more sumptuous finish. The pattern accommodates a yarn range of approximately 600m (650y) to 900m (990y) of lace to fingering weight yarn, and you can achieve even larger results by adding extra wedges to your shawl.

This elegant design is perfect for a variety of yarn types, including lace to fingering weight options in solid, semi-solid, gradient, or subtle speckle varieties. The versatility of the Lyrata Shawl makes it a perfect addition to any knitter's collection, allowing for personal creativity and customization.

Gauge and needle sizes will vary based on your chosen yarn weight. The pictured shawl was made using 780m (850y) of Vivid Fiber Art Lux yarn, knitted on 3.25mm (US size 4) needles, resulting in finished dimensions of 150x65cm (60x26in) after blocking.

For your convenience, the Lyrata Shawl pattern can be followed entirely from the detailed written instructions or from charts, accompanied by helpful notes to guide you through the knitting process. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just beginning your journey, this enchanting shawl pattern is sure to inspire your creativity and enhance your knitting repertoire.
