Paquetá Shawl
Paquetá Shawl Knitting Pattern
Introducing the stunning Paquetá Shawl, a delightful collaboration with Miss Babs Yarns that draws inspiration from the enchanting island of Paquetá in Rio de Janeiro. This serene island paradise, known for its captivating colonial architecture, is only accessible by ferry, adding to its charm as a frozen-in-time oasis. With no motor vehicles allowed, residents and visitors alike enjoy a peaceful journey on horseback, in wagons, or on bicycles, immersing themselves in the island's picturesque, bucolic atmosphere.
The Paquetá Shawl is designed to be worked from the top-down, creating a stunning half-circle shape that is both elegant and versatile. This knitting pattern is thoughtfully divided into three distinct sections: the first features a squishy garter stitch body adorned with eyelets that provide a lovely texture. The second section introduces vibrant stripes combined with an airy lace stitch pattern, adding a touch of sophistication and visual interest. Finally, the shawl concludes with a beautifully ruffled, wavy edge, offering a graceful finish that captures the essence of tranquil island life.
Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting your knitting journey, the Paquetá Shawl pattern is an enjoyable project that will enhance your skills and provide a stunning accessory to your wardrobe. Perfect for draping over your shoulders during cooler evenings or wearing as a striking statement piece, this shawl is sure to be a favorite.
