Scirocco

Introducing a stunning shawl that beautifully combines a mix of stripes and delicate lace, perfect for any knitting enthusiast looking to enhance their accessory collection. This versatile shawl not only adds a touch of elegance to any outfit but also serves as a cozy wrap for chilly evenings or stylish layering for your fall wardrobe.

Yarn Details: For this exquisite shawl, you'll need fingering weight yarn, specifically 455 meters (498 yards) of your main color (MC) and 260 meters (285 yards) of a contrasting color (CC). For our sample shawl, we used Eki Riva, Supreme (100% SuperBaby Alpaca), which offers a delightful softness and warmth. The yarn specifications include 200 meters (219 yards) per 50 grams (1.75 ounces). We used 3 balls of Col. No. 2174 (MC) and 2 balls of Col. No. 201 (CC) to achieve the perfect blend of colors.

Needles and Notions: To create this beautiful shawl, you'll need 3.5mm (US 4) 80cm circular knitting needles. Don’t forget to have a stitch marker and a darning needle on hand to help with finishing touches!

Measurements: Once completed, the shawl measures an impressive 150 cm (59 inches) across the top and 79 cm (30 inches) at its widest point, making it a substantial piece that is both functional and fashionable.

Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is essential for a well-fitting shawl. For this pattern, aim for 23 stitches and 36 rows to measure 10 cm (4 inches) in stocking stitch. This ensures that your finished shawl has the perfect drape and structure.

Whether you're looking to challenge your knitting skills or simply seeking a lovely project to gift to a special friend, this beautiful striped and lace shawl pattern is a perfect choice.
