Sea Grass
Introducing the enchanting Sea Grass Shawl – a large and luxurious wrap designed for knitters who appreciate intricate detail and visual intrigue. This pattern features captivating three-dimensional lace and garter stitch stripes, ensuring that your knitting experience remains entertaining while offering a wonderful opportunity to explore vibrant color combinations. The unique bias construction adds an extra dash of fun, making it a timeless favorite for everyday wear.
The Sea Grass Shawl is expertly knitted diagonally, with increases on one side and decreases on the opposite, which creates a slightly asymmetric and distinctive silhouette. The stunning lace pattern is skillfully crafted on the right side only, resulting in a beautifully textured piece that showcases your knitting talents.
Yarn Requirements: This exquisite shawl requires two colors of fingering weight yarn, specifically 360 meters (394 yards) of Color 1 (C1) and 280 meters (306 yards) of Color 2 (C2). The pattern is beautifully demonstrated using DyeForYarn Merino/Silk Fingering yarn in the colors Sea Grass in the Sun (C1) and Icy Mist (C2).
Stitches Used: The stitches incorporated in this pattern include knit, purl, knit front and back (kfb), yarn over (yo), knit two together (k2tog), slip slip knit (ssk), and slip 2 knit 1 pass slipped stitches over (sl2k1psso). These techniques create a delightful mix of textures and shapes that elevate the finished shawl.
Needle Recommendations: For optimal results, we recommend using size 4 mm (US 6) needles. Although the shawl is worked flat, a 100 cm (40 inch) circular needle is suggested to accommodate the increasing number of stitches as you progress through the pattern.
Pattern Format: All instructions are provided in a fully written format, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Please note that this pattern does not include charts, focusing instead on clear written guidance.
