Saqqara

Introducing Saqqara, an exquisite knitting pattern inspired by the iconic step pyramid of Egypt. This stunning, reversible lace pattern showcases elegant triangular shapes that adorn a beautifully designed rectangular shawl, complete with a cozy shawl collar and complementary loose sleeves. The intricate tucks seamlessly frame the hands on the loose sleeves and creatively divide the artistic patterns on the shawl. Versatile and stylish, this shawl can be wrapped around your neck, draped over your shoulders, or elegantly styled across your bust—wear it however you prefer, with or without the matching loose sleeves for a personalized touch.

Notes: Each loose sleeve features an elastic band inserted into the top hem to ensure a secure fit while maintaining comfort. These sleeves are knitted in the round, differing from the shawl's construction, which involves utilizing two circular needles held parallel to create the hem and tucks. The shawl collar is expertly shaped using short rows and finishes with a refined i-cord bind-off, adding an element of sophistication to the design.

Gauge: To achieve the perfect drape and fit, maintain a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows in stockinette stitch, which measures 10 cm square.

Loose Sleeves: The cuff width is customizable at 25 (28, 32) cm, with additional yarn requirements of 403 (451, 516) meters for the loose sleeves. This pattern offers the perfect blend of artistry and practicality, ideal for knitters looking to create a unique accessory that will turn heads.
