Metropolitan Shawl
If you're looking for a unique knitting project that combines creativity and sophistication, this scarf pattern is perfect for you. Inspired by the architecture of bustling cityscapes, the design features a stunning visual that resembles three-dimensional blocks. With its lace edge along the two lower sides and a meticulously crafted triangle shape, this scarf not only showcases your knitting skills but also provides warmth and elegance.
The pattern comes complete with both detailed charts and comprehensive written directions, ensuring you have all the guidance needed to create this beautiful piece. For each row, you'll find stitch count totals, making it easier to track your progress. Plus, I've included handy tips on how to enlarge the shawl if you desire, along with the necessary yardage required for your modifications.
Suggested Yarn:
Choose any sock yarn for this project; I personally recommend Dream in Color Smooshy 100% Merino Wool in the stunning colorway Absolute Magenta, with a total yardage of 355 yards. This yarn provides a lovely drape and softness that enhances the finished scarf's look.
Knitting Needles:
Use a 9.00 mm needle exclusively for the cast-on; then switch to a 4.0 mm needle for the body of the scarf. Alternatively, you can use a 3.5 mm crochet hook for casting on, which gives you the flexibility to use a size 7.0 mm knitting needle for the cast-on instead of the larger size.
Finished Size:
This gorgeous scarf spans 102 cm (40") across the top edge and measures 51 cm (20") in length from the center top to the point, making it a statement accessory for any wardrobe.
Skill Level:
Designed for intermediate knitters, this pattern presents a delightful challenge while allowing room for creativity and flair in your knitting technique.
