Minnamurra
Introducing the **Minnamurra Lace Shawl**, a stunning crescent-shaped lace shawl designed to showcase your knitting skills. This elegant shawl is crafted from just one skein (100 grams) of your favorite sock, fingering, or 4 ply yarn, making it an ideal project for any knitting enthusiast looking to create a beautiful accessory.
Shawl Construction The Minnamurra shawl is knitted from the top down, beginning with a garter tab cast-on technique that ensures a clean and polished finish. Rapid increases at the edges create a wide, shallow, and gracefully curved shawl shape that drapes beautifully over the shoulders. The design is completed with a delicate picot edging, adding a touch of finesse that elevates your knitting from simple to stunning.
Finished Measurements Upon completion, this exquisite shawl boasts impressive dimensions with a wingspan of 78 inches (198 cm) and a depth of 17 inches (43 cm), making it a perfect wrap for any occasion.
Yarn Requirements To knit the Minnamurra Lace Shawl, you will need 400 yards (approximately 100 grams) of 4 ply, fingering, or sock yarn. The pattern sample was masterfully knitted using Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in the breathtaking Well Water colourway, which showcases the shawl's intricate lacework beautifully.
Needles & Notions For this project, you will require 4.5mm (US 7) circular needles, available in lengths ranging from 30 to 48 inches (75cm to 120cm). Don't forget to have some stitch markers on hand to help you easily keep track of your lace pattern as you knit.
Gauge Information The recommended gauge for this pattern is 14 stitches x 24 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) when knitted in Section B lace pattern on 4mm needles after a very heavy blocking. While gauge is not crucial for this project, any variations may affect the final size, drape, and amount of yarn required, so keep this in mind as you choose your materials.
