Seafoam Shawl

This versatile shawl serves double duty as both a lightweight wrap and a surprisingly warm scarf when looped around your neck a couple of times. While I absolutely adore the drape and swoosh of the Taj Mahal yarn featured in this pattern, you have the freedom to create it in virtually any yarn of your choice. The design is incredibly simple, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels, and since this pattern can be adjusted to any size, gauge is not a critical factor.

This beautiful shawl pattern was originally published by KnitPicks Yarn Company under the name “Sweet Scalloped Shawl,” and it recommended using 5 balls (550 yards) of the luxurious KnitPicks Ambrosia yarn, which consists of 80% Baby Alpaca and 20% Cashmere. The original shawl was crafted in the now-discontinued "fingering" weight Le Fibre Nobili, which came in put-ups of 187 yards per ball.

Currently, the Taj Mahal yarn available on the market is classified as "worsted," with each ball containing 127 yards. I'm comparing the new yarn to the original shawl right now, and honestly, they appear nearly identical. However, it’s important to note that the yardage is different, so you will need to purchase more yarn or opt for larger needles to achieve the desired results. But don't let that deter you; this adaptable pattern is designed to fit your creative needs seamlessly. Happy knitting!

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter, this shawl pattern is sure to become a favorite in your collection.
