Sea Aquarel
INFO: The Sea Aquarel shawl pattern is the ultimate project for using up your leftover yarn, scrap yarns, or mini skeins! Whether you're a minimalist preferring a two-color palette or an adventurous crafter looking to incorporate up to 29 colors, this versatile shawl is perfect for expressing your creativity. With its unique design, you can easily create a stunning accessory that showcases your yarn collection.
This beautiful shawl is worked flat from the top down, beginning with a simple garter tab. As you knit, stitches are elegantly increased along the edges to form a graceful crescent shape, giving your finished piece a stylish drape that is perfect for any outfit.
YARN: This pattern calls for fingering weight yarns. To help you gauge the amount of yarn you need, the sample yardage for the main color (MC) is approximately 275 yards (251 meters). You can also incorporate mini skeins for contrasting colors (CC): CC1: 11 yards (10 meters), CC2: 19 yards (17 meters), CC3: 29 yards (26 meters), CC4: 38 yards (35 meters), CC5: 43 yards (39 meters), CC6: 59 yards (54 meters), CC7: 63 yards (57 meters), and CC8: 24 yards (22 meters).
For more flexibility, you can also use any fingering weight yarn, with recommended yardage for the MC ranging from approximately 274 to 383 yards (250 to 350 meters) and a total of 317 to 383 yards (290 to 350 meters) for all contrasting colors combined.
GAUGE: To ensure your shawl turns out beautifully, aim for a blocked gauge of 4 inches (10 cm) in a slip stitch pattern, achieving 20 stitches and 40 rows. This gauge will allow your shawl to maintain its intended shape and size, providing a perfect fit for any occasion.
Whether you're knitting for yourself or looking for a heartfelt gift for a loved one, the Sea Aquarel shawl pattern offers endless possibilities and a fun knitting experience. Dive into your stash and unleash your creativity today!
