Quindici

Quindici Shawl: A Beautiful Boomerang Shawl Pattern is an intriguing and relaxing knitting project that features 15 unique segments, aptly named after the Italian word for 15—quindici. This elegant shawl incorporates a variety of stitches, including textured, seed, slipped, and lattice stitches, making it a delightful challenge for knitters of all skill levels. Each segment of the Quindici shawl represents a cherished memory from a special trip to Italy spent with my daughter this summer, adding a personal touch to your knitting experience. The first 8 segment memories [can be viewed here][2], offering inspiration for your creative journey.

One of the standout features of the Quindici shawl is its clever construction, which minimizes cut ends by allowing some of the adjacent segments to be worked without changing colors. This not only ensures a cleaner finish but also adds to the overall flow of the design. The fabulous Magpie Swanky Sock yarn provides phenomenal drape, making every stitch feel like it’s gliding off your fingers, or as we like to say, like buttah. For the best visual impact, we recommend using 2 neutral colors paired with either a variegated or a striking contrast color, which will elevate the overall aesthetic of your shawl.

Final Measurements: The finished Quindici shawl measures approximately 18 inches at its deepest point and stretches 72 inches along the neck edge, making it an ideal accessory for any outfit.

This stunning pattern was first introduced at Stitches South, and in the sidebar of our website, you can explore some beautiful color combinations that fellow knitters chose from the Magpie booth. The vibrant colors and textures make the Quindici shawl not just a project but also a captivating piece of wearable art.
