Polka dot

Introducing the delightful Polka Dot Shawl knitting pattern, a stunning accessory that showcases a playful polka dot design through evenly spaced increases. This unique technique not only creates the eye-catching polka dot pattern but also helps shape the shawl simultaneously, making it a wonderful addition to your knitting repertoire. After completing the shawl, you will finish it off with a beautiful garter edge, worked along the rounded edge to add a polished and professional touch.

This semi-circular shawl begins at the center and is intricately worked out towards the gracefully curved edge. The clever pattern allows you to shape the fabric while you knit, creating an elegant silhouette. Once the full depth of 18 inches (46 cm) is achieved, you can draw out the shawl's wings using short rows, enhancing its drape and flow. Finally, the charming garter edging is completed sideways in short rows, providing a cohesive finish to this exquisite piece.

Finished dimensions include a bust circumference depth of 18 inches (46 cm) and an impressive wingspan stretching to 60 inches (152 cm), making it a versatile accessory perfect for any occasion.

For this lovely shawl, you'll need 2 balls of JC Rennie Supersoft 4ply yarn, or you can substitute with approximately 525 yards (480 m) of similar Fingering weight yarn to achieve the desired results.

To ensure your project turns out beautifully, aim for a gauge of 16 stitches and 23 rows per 4 inches in Stocking stitch. You'll need some essential tools: a size 4.0 mm (US 6) circular needle, a few stitch markers, and a tapestry needle to complete your project effortlessly.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, the Polka Dot Shawl pattern is a must-try. It not only provides a rewarding knitting experience but also results in a delightful garment that you can cherish or gift.
