Madam Butterfly Shawl

Discover the beauty of the Madame Butterfly Shawl, a stunning triangle knitting shawl designed for knitters of all skill levels. This elegant shawl is crafted from the center back of the neck and gracefully extends to the bottom edge, making it a perfect accessory for any season. The pattern features a 3-stitch border at both the beginning and end of each row, utilizing a classic stocking stitch for a smooth finish. Throughout the project, you will increase 4 stitches on every right-side row, creating a lovely shape that drapes beautifully. To assist you in your knitting journey, this pattern includes 4 stitch markers—one on each border and two positioned in the center.

Yarn Requirements: You will need approximately 860 yards of fingering weight yarn to complete the Madame Butterfly Shawl. The shawl is showcased in the exquisite Carlisle Fingering yarn from Eden Cottage Yarns, crafted from 100% superwash superfine Merino wool. Each 100g skein provides about 400m or 436 yards, and the beautiful colorway featured is Bog Myrtle.

Needle Size: For optimal results, use a US size 4 (3.5mm) circular needle with a length of 32” (80cm) or choose a needle size that helps you achieve the desired gauge.
