Pisgah
Introducing the Pisgah Shawl: a beautifully crafted, bias triangle shawl that features a delightful curved top edge. This unique design is shaped by strategically placed increases on one side and decreases on the opposite side, resulting in a stunning and modern accessory. The pattern starts with just a few simple cast-on stitches and is worked sideways, allowing for creativity and ease as you knit. One of the standout features of this shawl is the incorporation of an elegant I-cord edge, which is worked simultaneously, creating a seamless transition into the I-cord bind off.
The Pisgah Shawl pattern is thoughtfully divided into three distinct sections: a smooth stockinette section, a vibrant striped section, and a captivating textured section. The directions for the first two sections are provided in a clear written format, while the final textured section has both written instructions and a chart for visual knitters, ensuring that all crafters can follow along with ease. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern offers a satisfying challenge that will enhance your skills.
Please note that while gauge and yarn weight are not crucial to completing the Pisgah Shawl, any variations in yarn type may affect the overall yardage and finished dimensions of your project. For this lovely shawl, you will need a total of 990 yards (905 meters) of DK weight yarn, broken down into 495 yards (452 meters) of yarn A, 165 yards (151 meters) of yarn B, and 330 yards (302 meters) of yarn C to bring your creation to life.
The sample shawl is showcased in Valley Yarns Pocumtuck, a luxurious 100% Cashmere yarn, offering an extra touch of elegance and warmth. If you're looking for a suggested substitute, options are available for you to explore.
Perfect for any occasion, the Pisgah Shawl can be your next go-to accessory or a thoughtful handmade gift. Elevate your knitting experience with this engaging design and enjoy every moment of creating a piece that’s sure to become a cherished favorite.
