Punto Shawl
Introducing the Punto Shawl, a stunning asymmetric, crescent-shaped shawl that combines ease of draping with an engaging knitting experience. This unique shawl features a delightful mix of plain garter rows combined with colorwork wedges, which showcase pointy edges on one side and gracefully curved edges on the other. Designed to be worked sideways, the shawl achieves its enchanting crescent shape through a series of short rows, making it a perfect project for knitters looking to expand their skills while creating a beautiful accessory.
One of the standout features of the Punto Shawl is its clever use of variegated yarns. The slipped stitches technique beautifully breaks up the colors, adding depth and interest to each wedge. You can choose to follow the sample using the same contrast color (CC) yarn shown, or unleash your creativity by selecting different yarns for each wedge to create a truly one-of-a-kind piece. If you're feeling adventurous, consider replacing the variegated yarn with various solid yarns for each wedge to achieve a striking visual effect that’s uniquely yours.
This pattern is designed for one size, boasting an impressive 46" wingspan and 14" at its widest point, making it an ideal accessory for any wardrobe. Please note that this pattern is provided in written format only, with no charts included; however, a convenient schematic illustrating the shawl's measurements is included to aid in your knitting journey.
