Pauza
Introducing the Pauza Infinity Shawl – an easy-to-knit pattern that not only looks stunning but also offers versatility in yarn choices. This shawl shines beautifully in both solid colors and ombre yarns, making it a perfect addition to your knitting collection.
The Pauza shawl features a slightly irregular triangle shape, which is initiated from one corner, allowing for an engaging and repetitive knitting experience. Eye-catching vertical eyelet lines create a striking visual appeal, while chevron elements serve as an attractive background design. When knitted with two contrasting colors or in a gradient ombre yarn, the shawl showcases an eye-dazzling effect of meandering lines, elevating your hand-knit accessory game.
One of the best characteristics of the Pauza shawl is its reversibility. The main lace pattern is beautifully crafted on the right side (RS), while the wrong side (WS) features a delightful combination of knit and purl stitches. Each ten rows include a special stitch that results in a large, dramatic eyelet, providing intriguing texture and visual dynamics.
This knitting pattern employs basic lace techniques, including increasing, decreasing, and yarnovers. While the majority of the shawl is beginner-friendly, the large eyelet stitch introduces a fun challenge, which is thoroughly explained in a photo tutorial included at the end of the pattern. This ensures that knitters of all skill levels can successfully create this stunning piece.
Yarn Recommendations: You can use any yarn ranging from light fingering to sport, or even DK weights. Opt for natural or blockable fibers to get the best results. For instance, my orange version of the shawl was crafted using one skein of Malabrigo Mechita, renowned for its softness and vibrancy. Alternatively, the yellow striped version was made with four skeins of Drops Safran, a 100% cotton yarn that adds a distinct texture to the finished project.
Whether you’re a novice knitter looking to expand your skills or an experienced crafter searching for a quick and visually stunning project, the Pauza Infinity Shawl is the perfect choice.
