Melaleuca Shawl

Combine classic stripes with delicate lace in our beautiful Melaleuca Shawl, a relaxed accessory designed for year-round enjoyment. This easy-to-knit asymmetrical triangular shawl is perfect for knitters of all skill levels, providing not only a satisfying project but also a stylish addition to your wardrobe. Whether you prefer to create it with boldly contrasting yarns or opt for a more subtle look using a variegated yarn paired with a solid color, the choice is yours! I chose a harmonious combination that beautifully mirrors the vibrant colors of my new coastal home. The interplay of colors in this shawl evokes the charming dappling light found in the stunning Melaleuca trees that line the coast.

For the sample shown, I used yarn from Happy Hank Co., specifically their Lite collection, which features fingering weight, 100% superwash Merino wool (437 yd/400 m per 100 g). The color selections for this project include C1: Bouquet and C2: Meadow, creating a soft and inviting visual effect.

NEEDLES: You will need a US 5/3.75 mm long circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches involved (the shawl is worked flat). Alternatively, you may use a needle size that allows you to achieve the correct gauge. This versatile Melaleuca Shawl not only enhances your knitting skills but also provides a perfect canvas for showcasing your favorite yarns. Embrace your creativity and create a stunning piece that complements your style!
