Plein soleil

Plein Soleil is a stunning knitting pattern that begins with a single point and gracefully expands into an asymmetric triangle design. This unique shawl is crafted using a sideways technique that creates a striking crisp line, achieved through a clever mix of increases and decreases. Throughout the knitting process, you will work increases on both sides during each right side row, along with a central double decrease on specific right side rows to enhance the structure of the shawl.

As you progress towards the center of the shawl, the pattern evolves: increases will only be performed on one half of the shawl—both on right side and wrong side rows—while the other half remains static. This technique requires a central double decrease, ensuring that the total number of stitches remains consistent, leading to an intricately shaped and beautiful finished piece.

The combination of textured slip stitch pattern bands and elegant ribbing imparts a sophisticated yet relaxed aesthetic to this exquisite shawl, making it a versatile accessory for any wardrobe. Whether you’re dressing up for an occasion or looking for a cozy wrap for casual outings, Plein Soleil can elevate your knitwear collection.

For the project, we recommend using the original yarn, Nature’s Luxury ON STAGE LONG MÉTRAGE, which boasts 438 yards (400m) per 100g. You will need 3 skeins, amounting to approximately 1313 yards (1200m). The shawl is beautifully presented in the striking color L’Été Meurtrier.
