Noordzee

Info: The North Sea, known as 'Noordzee' in Dutch, is an extension of the Atlantic Ocean that graces the coastlines of multiple Northern European countries with its striking grey-blue waves. This unique beauty has inspired the creation of a stunning knitting pattern for an asymmetrical triangular shawl, beautifully capturing the essence of the North Sea through its special colorway and intricate design details.

The shawl features a subtly rippling texture that flows gracefully down to a series of elegant undulating cables, culminating in a clean and modern lower border. To enhance the refined look of the piece, i-cord edgings are employed, adding a touch of polish and sophistication. This design is not only harmonious but also continuously engaging, making it perfect for both tonally dyed fibers and solid hues alike. Whether you prefer soft gradients or bold single colors, the 'Noordzee' shawl design accommodates all stylistic preferences.

The 'Noordzee' shawl is crafted flat from the right tip to the left edge, making it an enjoyable and satisfying project for knitters of all levels. The pattern is fully written out, complete with stitch counts and charts, ensuring clarity and ease of use throughout your knitting journey.

Yarn: You will need 3 skeins of Frida Fuchs, Wonneproppen DK (each skein weighs 100g and contains 273 yards/250 meters). The sample was knit using 793 yards (725 meters) in the color Nordsee. Alternatively, any DK weight yarn can be used, with an estimated requirement of approximately 765-875 yards (700-800 meters).

Gauge: The gauge after blocking measures 4 inches (10 cm) in the textured pattern, resulting in 18 stitches and 28 rows. Please note that while gauge is not crucial, it can affect the final size and yardage of your finished shawl.

Embrace the beauty of the North Sea through your knitting with the 'Noordzee' shawl pattern, a piece that is sure to become a cherished addition to your wardrobe or a heartfelt gift for a loved one.
