Present Tenses Shawl
Oh, won’t you say we’ll put on the day, And we’ll talk in present tenses
This enchanting top-down, half-crescent shaped shawl is a stunning addition to any knitting collection. Dotted with a beautifully textured scallop stitch, this pattern is easy to memorize, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Crafted from a luxurious merino-silk blend yarn, the shawl is designed with a loose gauge that results in incredible drape. Ideal for those cool summer evenings, it provides just the right amount of warmth while remaining light enough to wear comfortably as a stylish scarf.
Featuring simple increases integrated into the k2 p2 ribbing, this shawl boasts a polished finish that behaves more like a delicate ruffle than a tight ribbing. Whether you choose to knit it in a laceweight yarn for an ultra-drapey effect or opt for a true fingering weight for a more substantial and cozy fabric, this shawl is versatile for various occasions.
Finished size: Approximately 31 ½“ deep and 84” along the curved lower edge of the shawl. Please note that a tighter gauge on the garter edging will result in the upper edge of the shawl curving more dramatically, while a slightly looser edging will allow for a more elongated, straighter upper edge. This makes it customizable based on your desired shape and fit.
To enhance your knitting experience, this pattern includes helpful tips and tricks to ensure your project goes smoothly. Whether you’re looking for a quick gift or a chic accessory for yourself, this delightful shawl pattern is sure to inspire and satisfy your creativity.
