Phos

Are you ready to elevate your knitting game? Meet the Phos shawl pattern, a beautifully designed project that celebrates the artistry of handspun yarn while embracing the unique qualities of different gauges. With over two and a half years of experience in spinning, I've learned how to create handspun yarn to match various weights. However, achieving a precise gauge to seamlessly match another skein of yarn remains a challenge for many knitters, including myself. But fear not—this is where Phos comes in!

Phos is specifically crafted to highlight the beauty and versatility of handspun yarn, allowing you to take advantage of the variations in gauge. By incorporating a denser handspun yarn, referred to as yarn B, which knits up with fewer stitches and rows per inch, you'll achieve an extravagant texture that adds depth and character to your shawl. The interplay of colors and patterns will make your Phos shawl truly one-of-a-kind.

If your handspun yarn isn't as bulky as Shepherd Shades, don’t worry! You can easily select a thinner commercial yarn to pair alongside it, preserving the tactile quality of the delightful slipped stitch pattern while maintaining the overall integrity of the design. The beauty of Phos lies in its versatility—you can comfortably knit this exquisite shawl entirely from commercial yarn if you prefer, making it a perfect project for knitters of all levels.

So why wait? Dive into the world of creative possibilities with the Phos shawl pattern! Whether you want to showcase your stunning handspun yarn or experiment with various commercial options, this pattern allows you to explore your knitting imagination, making it an excellent addition to your knitting repertoire. Get your needles ready and embark on your next knitting adventure with Phos!
