Ora

Introducing the stunning Ora-Shawl knitting pattern—an exquisite design that combines elegance with creativity. This unique shawl is first knitted sideways to create a long, shallow triangle, showcasing a beautifully textured garter stitch. After completing the triangle, an enchanting eyelet lace section adorned with decorative beads is knitted top-down by picking up stitches from the lower edge of the triangle, adding a delightful twist to the design. The intricate lace edging is then knitted sideways, leaving only 9 stitches to bind off for a clean and polished finish. Plus, this pattern comes with both written and charted instructions, making it easy to follow for knitters of all skill levels.

Yarn:

To create the stunning Ora-Shawl, you'll need 200 g of fingering weight yarn in two complementary colors—100 g of each color will suffice. Our estimate is 400 m (437 yds) per 100 g. In our sample shawl, we used both skeins and had just 7 g left of each color, ensuring you can create a beautifully balanced piece.

Needles and Accessories:

Gather your supplies: a 100 cm (40”) or longer circular needle in size 3.75 mm/ US 7, along with 35 g of 6/0 seed beads, stitch markers, and a crochet hook or floss for seamlessly adding beads to your project. A tapestry needle will also be essential for weaving in ends and ensuring a professional finish.

Gauge:

Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 18 stitches x 48 rows, which equals 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) in garter stitch after blocking. Consistency in your tension will ensure your shawl drapes beautifully.

Finished Measurements After Blocking:

The Ora-Shawl boasts impressive finished dimensions: a wingspan of 249 cm (98 inches) and a depth of 43 cm (17 inches), making it a striking addition to any wardrobe.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your knitting journey, the Ora-Shawl pattern is a delightful project that will enhance your skills while providing a stunning accessory for any occasion. Enjoy the process of creating this unique piece that will surely become a favorite in your collection!
