Saranac

Introducing the Saranac Shawl, a stunning knitting pattern that begins with a beautifully designed long, peaked border, expertly crafted side to side on a small number of stitches. This unique construction method not only adds visual interest but also enhances the overall drape of the shawl. Once the border is complete, it is elegantly turned 90 degrees, allowing for stitches to be picked up along the top edge, creating a seamless transition into the main body of the shawl. The enchanting crescent shape is achieved through short rows, resulting in a soft and flattering silhouette that is perfect for any occasion.

The Saranac Shawl takes full advantage of simple yet elegant stitch patterns, combined with a sideways worked border, making it an ideal project to showcase handspun and hand-dyed yarns. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner eager to expand your skills, this pattern will guide you through the process with ease and enjoyment. The Unwind Yarn Company Merino Roving in the delightful shade of Sanibel Stoop was used for the handspun sample showcased in the photos, spun to a delicate fingering weight. For an alternative look, the second sample was knit using Tumbleweed Yarn Aurora in the calming shade of Weathered Grey, proving the versatility and beauty of this design.
