Introducing a stunning shawl pattern that beautifully combines intricate lace techniques with a classic cabled design. This shawl features three elegant sections of lace: delicate lattice lace, charming eyelets, and sophisticated perforated rib, all beautifully crafted around a 4-stitch cabled spine. After blocking, this exquisite piece measures an impressive 67 inches wide and 33 inches along the center spine, making it a perfect statement accessory for any outfit. To elevate the visual appeal, this shawl is designed using two vibrant colors of We Are Knitters Finita yarn, adding a delightful pop to your knitting project.
Yarn Requirements: To create this shawl, you will need a total of 430 yards of fingering weight yarn in two contrasting colors (approximately 440 yards per 100 grams). For this project, color A and color B each require 430 yards. The sample shawl is shown in We Are Knitters Finita yarn in the beautiful shades of bordeaux and natural.
Knitting Needles and Notions: For this project, you will need size 5 (3.75 mm) knitting needles, preferably a circular needle measuring at least 40 inches. Alternatively, you can use a needle size that helps you achieve the specified gauge. Additional tools required include a tapestry needle, 4 stitch markers, and blocking materials to give your finished shawl its final shape.
Gauge: To ensure your shawl turns out perfectly, maintain a gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch, and 24 stitches and 26 rows per 4 inches in the lattice lace pattern. Accurate gauge is crucial for achieving the desired dimensions and overall fit.
This beautiful shawl pattern not only showcases your knitting skills but also serves as a fantastic gift for friends and loved ones. Experience the joy of crafting this layered lace shawl and enjoy its warmth and elegance in your knitting collection.
