Discover the beauty and versatility of this stunning shawl pattern, designed to flourish in both fingering-weight yarn and heavy lace weight. The pattern features a flowing yoke in a classic stocking stitch that seamlessly transitions into an exquisite lace edging. For an extra touch of elegance, optional beads can be incorporated into the lace, adding both weight along the bottom edge and a glamorous sparkle that enhances the overall drape of the shawl.
The large purple sample shawl, knitted in high-quality fingering yarn, boasts impressive dimensions of 80" along the top edge (wingspan) and 25" at the deepest point. One of the remarkable features of this pattern is its adaptability; you can adjust the size to meet your personal preferences, whether larger or smaller. Comprehensive instructions are included in the pattern to guide you through this customization process. Additionally, the pattern offers instructions for three different types of bind-offs, allowing you to finish your shawl in a style that suits you best.
For those looking to create a shawlette, you can knit a beautiful piece measuring approximately 18” (45cm) deep and 62” (158cm) across the wingspan with just a single 100g skein of 4ply/fingering yarn, which offers about 400yds/365m of material. To achieve this shawlette, you will need to use 4mm (US6) needles. If you are aiming for larger sizes, you will require two skeins to create shawls up to 24” (61cm) deep and 80” (204cm) across the wingspan.
