Prisma Shawl

Introducing Prisma, an exquisite oval-shaped shawl that beautifully combines a delicate lace border with a body featuring alternating garter and stocking stitch short-row sections. When crafted in a light yarn (such as lace or fingering weight), Prisma becomes a stunning accessory that's perfect for any occasion.

The intricate lace border of Prisma utilizes a modified stitch pattern inspired by Vintage Purl's classic Ladies Jersey. Several years ago, my Mum shared the original link to this 1940s pattern, hoping I would knit it for her. However, the pattern proved challenging to follow and understand! After some perseverance, I finally mastered the stitch pattern and fell in love with its unique beauty. This inspired me to create a shawl that showcases this gorgeous stitch, and with a bit of rewriting and simplifying, I am thrilled to present the Prisma shawl.

The lace section of the pattern is thoughtfully charted and color-coded for ease of use, ensuring knitters of all levels can enjoy this elegant design. Additionally, I've included photo tutorials to guide you through this portion of the pattern, offering visual assistance to make your knitting experience more enjoyable. The short row sections feature clear written instructions, complete with concise directions for working German Short Rows, making technique application straightforward.

For your project, I’ve provided a suggested yarn that complements this design beautifully. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced knitter, Prisma is not only a delightful project but also a timeless piece to add to your collection. Dive into the world of lace knitting with this charming shawl pattern, and embrace the elegance it brings to your wardrobe or as a thoughtful gift.
