Combining short rows with simple textures, this design is perfect for knitters looking to add a touch of sophistication to their wardrobe. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a novice, you'll find the techniques easy to follow as you create a stunning accessory.
The sample shawl is beautifully crafted using Uradale Yarns Jumper Weight in a harmonious palette: ‘Moorit’ (MC, Brown), ‘Tormentil Heath’ (CC1, Mustard Yellow), ‘Meadowsweet Heath’ (CC2, Light Green), and ‘Moss Heath’ (CC3, Green). These colors work together to create a warm and inviting shawl that is perfect for any season.
Materials: To create this exquisite crescent shawl, you'll need 756 yds / 691 m of fingering weight yarn in four shades, with approximately 189 yds / 173 m required for each color. You'll also need 4 mm / US6 circular needles, two stitch markers, a tapestry needle, and blocking wires or pins to finish your project beautifully.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 19 stitches x 28 rows = 4" / 10 cm in stocking stitch, after blocking, to ensure your shawl drapes perfectly and fits as intended.
Size: Once completed, your shawl will measure approximately 80.75 x 20.5" / 205 x 52 cm, making it a versatile accessory that can be worn in various styles.
Additional Notes: Needles - It is highly recommended to use a circular needle for this pattern, as several rows require you to work on the same side of the shawl due to the unique short row shaping. This technique not only enhances the design but also ensures that every stitch contributes to the overall beauty of your finished piece.
Embrace the creative journey and make this stunning crescent shawl your next knitting project. With its captivating curves and delightful textures, it’s sure to become a cherished favorite in your collection!
