Popple Shawl

Introducing the charming "Lakeview Shawl," a beautiful piece inspired by the serene lake where my grandparents had a cherished cabin during my childhood. The stunning colors of this shawl evoke the tranquil hues of the lake water and the lush reeds and grasses that flourished around it. I have fond memories of fishing and swimming in the refreshing waters of that enchanting lake, and now you can capture a piece of that nostalgia in your knitting.

This exquisite shawl is crafted using a variegated fingering weight yarn paired with a contrasting fingering weight yarn. Although the colors used in our sample are from discontinued lines, any high-quality, smooth fingering weight yarns will work beautifully. Choose two colors (1 skein each) that bring you joy and reflect your personal style!

When it comes to gauge, don't worry—it's not overly critical for this project. We’ve provided the gauge in an unblocked format to account for the significant stretching that typically occurs when blocking your finished piece.

The "Lakeview Shawl" pattern is designed for one size, making it perfect for knitters looking to create a versatile accessory. The nupps add a delightful challenge but are incredibly rewarding, while the wave pattern progresses rapidly, thanks to the technique of dropping extra wraps. You'll find this technique enjoyable and easy to master! Plus, the border is skillfully worked perpendicular to the shawl and directly attached, allowing for seamless construction and a polished look.

This pattern has undergone thorough test knitting and technical editing to ensure clarity and ease of use. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner eager to tackle new skills, the "Lakeview Shawl" is a fantastic addition to your collection of free and paid knitting patterns. Dive into this project and bring a touch of lakeside beauty into your wardrobe!
