Ranken Shawl

Introducing “Ranken,” a beautifully crafted triangular shawl that showcases a stunning blend of two-colour seed stitch and an intricately designed floral colorwork edge. This versatile shawl not only elevates your knitting skills but also adds a touch of elegance to your wardrobe.

The “Ranken” shawl is expertly knitted in the round and thoughtfully steeked at the end for a seamless finish. Our comprehensive pattern provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for the steeking process, ensuring that even novice knitters can confidently tackle this technique. Each step is accompanied by high-quality photographs and clear written instructions, guiding you through the process of using a crocheted reinforcement to secure the stitches before making the cut. The raw edges are cleverly concealed within an additional knitted fabric, creating a polished look that is as functional as it is beautiful.
