Oakberry
Embrace elegance and charm with our crescent-shaped Oakberry shawl, featuring a stunning vintage oak lace border adorned with delightful acorn embellishments. This unique accessory is perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit, making it a very special addition to your wardrobe.
The Oakberry shawl is designed to be crafted in one seamless piece, starting from one side and working your way to the other. Optional acorn embellishments give it a whimsical flair. The pattern incorporates easy short rows, seamlessly integrated into the stitch design, creating a beautifully soft crescent shape that drapes elegantly on the shoulders.
Sizes: You can customize the Oakberry shawl to be as long, wide, or narrow as you desire, making it an incredibly versatile accessory.
Yarn: This shawl can be knit with any yarn weight, from lace to chunky. For our samples, we used Sunday Knits 5 ply (worsted weight) in a lovely stone color and Sunday Knits 3 ply (light sport weight) in a vibrant carrot hue, allowing you to choose colors that best suit your style.
Yardage: To determine the yardage needed for your Oakberry shawl, a generous approximation can be calculated based on your specific stitch gauge and the desired dimensions of the finished piece. Use the formula: Yardage = gauge (in stitches per 4") x 0.025 x length" x center-back width". This way, you'll ensure you have enough yarn to complete your shawl without any interruptions.
Gauge: The beauty of this pattern is that you can use any gauge that works best with the yarn you've chosen. Experiment with different yarns to create a truly unique piece.
Techniques used: This pattern features lace knitting, where lace stitches are worked exclusively on right-side rows, and you'll also learn to read charts effectively, enhancing your knitting skills.
Pattern includes: The Oakberry shawl pattern comes with detailed written instructions and a border stitch pattern available in charted format only. Additionally, a helpful glossary is included to ensure that all skill levels can enjoy creating this stunning shawl.
