Never Shall Meet
Introducing the captivating Never Shall Meet Shawl, a beautifully designed shawl/scarf knit on the bias, featuring four distinct stitch patterns that create stunning, parallel lines—hence the name. This versatile pattern allows knitters to express their creativity while enjoying a soothing and engaging knitting experience.
The Never Shall Meet Shawl comes in two sizes, accommodating different preferences and yarn availability. The larger size requires a generous single skein or 3 x 50g balls of fingering yarn, resulting in a striking shawl length of 87". For those looking to showcase their handspun yarn, the smaller version is ideal, needing only 270-300 yards of fingering weight yarn yet delivering an impressive length of 72".
What sets this pattern apart is its simplicity paired with elegance. The stitch patterns are straightforward yet engaging, making them accessible to knitters of all skill levels. Whether you prefer solid colors, semi-solids, or vibrant long color repeat yarns, the design will shine wonderfully.
In terms of specifications, the gauge is 23 stitches and 34 rows = 4 inches, with yardage requirements of 455-475 yards for the larger size and 270-300 yards for the smaller size. The final dimensions are striking, with the larger shawl measuring 87"x16" and the smaller at 72"x16". The stitches utilized in this pattern include Knit (K), Purl (P), K2tog, P2tog, Ssk, Kfb, and slip stitch.
The pattern provides comprehensive written instructions for each stitch pattern. With clear explanations, you'll find that charts are unnecessary for this design. Additionally, you'll have the option to follow either a detailed line-by-line instruction set complete with stitch counts, or a more summarized version tailored for each size.
