Seigur
Introducing the Seigur Shawl, a stunning semi-circular shawl that beautifully combines elegance and comfort. This exquisite pattern features a wide lace knitted-on edging, making it the perfect accessory for any occasion. The shawl is named in honor of my mother, who inspired me to create a pattern from the luxurious gift of Pixie yarn by Dragonfly Fibers. The word "Seigur" is derived from Icelandic, signifying "resilient," which embodies the strength and beauty this shawl represents.
With a finished size of 25 inches in depth and a generous 62 inches wingspan, this versatile shawl can be draped elegantly over your shoulders or worn as a cozy wrap. The yarn used for this pattern is Dragonfly Fibers Pixie, which is crafted from 100% fine Merino wool, offering both warmth and softness. The sample was knit using the delightful colorway "Springtime In Washington," utilizing 550 yards of this exquisite yarn (the pattern calls for 430 yards/4 ounces).
For construction, you will need a 32-inch circular needle in size 4 US (3.5mm), or another size that helps you achieve the desired gauge. Speaking of gauge, the recommended gauge for the Seigur Shawl is 20 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches in wet-blocked stockinette stitch. While achieving this gauge is not critical, it will impact the overall size, yardage needed, and drape of your finished shawl.
This gorgeous pattern allows knitters of all skill levels to create a unique piece that showcases intricate lacework and the beauty of Merino wool. Whether you're gifting it to a loved one or keeping it for yourself, the Seigur Shawl is a timeless addition to any wardrobe.
