Rosaura Shawl
Introducing the charming Rosaura shawl, a delightful and cozy confection designed to keep your shoulders warm. This exquisite, crescent-shaped shawl is knit from the bottom up and features three intricate lace patterns, culminating in a beautifully rolled stockinette neck edge. Whether you're looking to showcase the stunning shadings of your variegated yarn or searching for a stylish accessory that doesn't require a shawl pin, Rosaura is the perfect solution.
If you choose to knit the Rosaura shawl in two colors, it's essential to have a method for measuring your yarn accurately, as you'll be dividing it into different-sized balls. To ensure precise measurements, I recommend using a scale that measures in grams. Alternatively, you can utilize ounces or measure with a yardstick or meter stick for convenience.
**Techniques Used:**
- Decreases: k2tog (knit two together), ssk (slip, slip, knit), p2tog (purl two together), ssp (slip, slip, purl), sl1 k3 psso (slip one, knit three, pass slipped stitch over), sl2 k1 psso (slip two, knit one, pass slipped stitches over)
- Increase: yo (yarn over), kfb (knit front and back)
- Basic stitches: knit, purl
- Casting on: Knit Cast-On
The two-color version of the Rosaura shawl showcases stunning contrast using:
- Down Under (Color A) - 265 yards / 242 m
- Terra Cotta (Color B) - 260 yards / 238 m
For a single color option, you'll need a total of 550 yards (503 m) of yarn for this lovely project. Please note that while the Rosaura shawl is knit flat, it is highly recommended to use a circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches involved in this intricate design.
