Road trip
Introducing the stunning "Road Trip" shawl knitting pattern, a beautiful accessory inspired by the breathtaking canyons across the United States. This delightful shawl features a captivating blend of three colors and intricate stripes, reminiscent of the layered rock formations that define these magnificent landscapes. Perfect for adventurous knitters looking to celebrate the natural beauty of the great outdoors, this pattern invites you to explore the art of colorwork while creating a unique piece of wearable art.
The journey of this pattern began with a special yarn purchase in Brighton, which accompanied me on my travels throughout the United States. Unfortunately, the sights and experiences were so captivating that I never found the time to knit it during my trip! Now, I'm back, filled with wonderful memories and inspired to share this pattern. Not only does it reflect the colors of the American canyons, but it also embodies the joy of travel and creativity.
The gauge for the Road Trip shawl is 28 stitches and 50 rows for a 4”/10cm swatch in garter stitch. To create this eye-catching piece, you'll need 3 skeins of Solitaires fing yarn or (V)laines Malicieuses, each in a distinct color. This combination allows you to play with color transitions and stripes, making your shawl truly one-of-a-kind.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking to expand your skills, this pattern is perfect for anyone who appreciates the beauty of color and texture. Dive into this knitting adventure, and let the spirit of exploration fill your crafting as you stitch your very own Road Trip shawl!
