Midtones Shawl

Introducing a beautifully simple and modern shawl pattern that perfectly blends color blocks with engaging knit and purl sections arranged diagonally across the design. This stylish shawl is crafted sideways, starting from the cast-on tip and creatively working towards the bind-off row. As you progress, you'll increase stitches at the beginning of right-side rows, allowing for a stunning visual effect. To give your shawl an elegant finish, a simple i-cord bind-off technique is included—complete with a photo tutorial to guide you through this versatile finishing touch.

This versatile shawl pattern is not only easy to follow, but it also includes additional templates for effective color planning, ensuring that your final piece showcases a harmonious blend of hues. You can unleash your creativity while creating a unique accessory that is perfect for any occasion!

For this project, we recommend using Martin's Lab Aubrey Sport yarn, which is a luxurious blend of 55% Wool and 45% Silk, boasting 328 yards (300 m) per 100 g skein. To complete this shawl, you will need 3 skeins total, using 1 skein in each color: C1 (color Pearl - white), C2 (color Rippling Effect - blue), and C3 (color Lappato - gray). Alternatively, you can opt for sportweight yarn approximately in the following amounts: 255 yards (233 m) for C1, 150 yards (137 m) for C2, and 300 yards (275 m) for C3.

As for the gauge, aim for 24 stitches and 36 rows in Stockinette stitch, which should measure 4 inches (10 cm) once washed and blocked. While achieving gauge is not crucial for this shawl, please note that it will impact both the amount of yarn used and the final size of the completed shawl.
