Maria Shawl
Transform your knitting with this stunning elongated shawl, featuring an elegant scallop lace edging that beautifully accentuates its intricate design. The shawl boasts a shallow, textured body skillfully crafted in a luxurious hand-dyed yarn, offering a captivating and subtle color variation that brings your work to life. Made from DK weight silk blend yarn, this piece showcases a delightful drape and sheen, paired with a comfortable mid-weight thickness that guarantees warmth without bulk.
Whether draped elegantly for an evening occasion or worn casually as a chic layer on chilly days, this shawl effortlessly transitions into a large scarf when the temperature drops. Its versatile design makes it an essential addition to your wardrobe, perfect for both special events and everyday wear.
Designed for knitters seeking an engaging project, this shawl combines a textured body and a double-sided lace border, both of which are thoughtfully provided in written and charted formats for your convenience. The shawl is worked side to side in one continuous piece, allowing for a seamless knit experience with compound increasing and decreasing techniques. The lace edging runs beautifully along the entire length of the shawl, adding an exquisite finishing touch.
Measuring a generous 65 inches (165 cm) wide and 17 inches (43 cm) deep at its point, this shawl makes a striking statement piece. For this project, you'll need just one skein of Miss Babs Killington yarn (700 yards/640 meters, 240 grams/8.5 ounces, 85% Polwarth Wool, 15% Silk), featured in the gorgeous Provence colorway.
To achieve the perfect gauge of 20 stitches and 30 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in the box stitch pattern, we recommend using US size 6 (4 mm) straight or circular needles, or any size needed to obtain the gauge. Don’t forget to have one stitch marker handy for your knitting journey!
This elegant shawl pattern offers a delightful blend of creativity and technique, making it an excellent choice for knitters looking to enhance their skills while producing a stunning, wearable piece. Dive into your next knitting adventure today!
