Oliva
This beautiful shawl pattern is part of my new e-book, [Espiral][1]: a progressive Eco-friendly e-book featuring 5 original shawl designs and an additional bonus shawl pattern.
Introducing Oliva, a delightful asymmetrical shawl designed to be knitted on the bias in one seamless piece. This stunning accessory begins with just a few stitches and gradually increases in size, offering a dynamic knitting experience. The main body of the shawl is created in a soft garter stitch, which beautifully showcases a lovely lace detail running along the inner edging, making it an eye-catching addition to your collection.
One of the best features of the Oliva shawl pattern is its flexibility. You can easily adjust the size to suit your preferences. Once you reach your desired length, simply finish off with the elegant picot bind-off. The sample shown in the pattern used 357.2 meters (approximately 390.6 yards) of Abuelita Yarns Merino fingering weight yarn, providing a perfect blend of warmth and style.
More Information: Materials: Approximately 357.2 – 447 meters (410.7 – 514 yards) of fingering weight yarn; 3.5 mm (US 4) circular needles; 1 stitch marker; tapestry needle; and pins for blocking are recommended to achieve your ideal finished shape.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Skills Needed: This pattern is ideal for knitters with an intermediate skill level. You’ll need to be familiar with the long tail cast-on method, knitting, K1tbl (knit one through back loop), purling, binding off, executing a picot bind-off, K2tog (knit two together), Ssk (slip, slip, knit), S2kp (slip 2, knit, pass), Dyo (double yarn over), Yo (yarn over), and creating multiple stitches from one (each technique is clearly explained in the pattern). This makes Oliva not only a fun knit but also a fantastic way to hone your skills.
