Pesto
Introducing the Pesto Shawl, an exquisite garter stitch design featuring a delicate lace border, crafted seamlessly in one piece from end to end. This elegant shawl is perfect for showcasing a special skein of yarn, as it can be knit using just one skein of sock yarn. With instructions provided on how to customize the size based on your available yarn, the Pesto Shawl is the ideal pattern for any knitting enthusiast looking to make the most of their precious yarn stash. Whether you want a petite wrap or a more generous shawl, flexibility is at your fingertips!
The Pesto Shawl pattern includes both charted and fully written instructions, ensuring that knitters of all proficiency levels can easily follow along. This pattern has undergone thorough testing and has been professionally tech edited, offering you peace of mind as you embark on your knitting journey.
With a finished size of 67 inches by 15 inches, this shawl wraps beautifully around your shoulders, making it a versatile accessory for various occasions. We recommend using SweetGeorgia Tough Sock Love, a luxurious blend of 80% superwash merino wool and 20% nylon, in the standout color 'Lettuce Wrap.' You will only need one skein (approximately 420 yards) of fingering weight yarn to complete this stunning project.
For this project, you will need US size 6 (4 mm) needles or a size that allows you to achieve the desired gauge. Additionally, gather a yarn needle, two stitch markers, and blocking pins or wires to aid in finishing your shawl beautifully.
Gauge details are as follows: 21 stitches and 44 rows equals 4 inches in garter stitch when unblocked. When blocked, gauge changes to 19 stitches and 30 rows per 4 inches in garter stitch. While achieving gauge is not crucial, be mindful that variations in gauge can influence both the final size of the shawl and the total amount of yarn required.
Elevate your knitting collection with the Pesto Shawl—an enchanting blend of simplicity and elegance that is sure to delight both you and the lucky recipient!
