Selkino Shawl

This stunning triangular shawl pattern is crafted from the top down, beginning with a simple garter-tab cast-on technique. The design includes yarn-over (yo) increases at both ends and along the center of the shawl, allowing for a beautiful expansion as you knit. The shawl features a mesmerizing repeated lace stripe intertwined with a smooth stockinette stitch, creating a delightful texture that enhances its overall charm. To complete the project, a classic garter stitch border edges the shawl, adding a polished finish.

This pattern is perfect for those looking for an easy knit, making it an excellent choice for adventurous beginners eager to explore the popular shawl shape. With clear instructions and straightforward techniques, this project is an ideal way to develop your knitting skills while creating a gorgeous accessory.

When selecting your yarn, choose a 4ply option that offers excellent drape to showcase the shawl's intricate design. For my own shawl, I used the luxurious Skein Queen Selkino, which consists of 70% superwash merino and 30% silk. This yarn drapes beautifully, providing the perfect balance of softness and structure for your finished piece.

In addition to the main pattern, we also offer an EASY READ version for enhanced accessibility. This version is presented in a LOW-VISIBILITY & SCREEN READER FORMAT featuring 24pt print in Arial Black font. To ensure optimal ease of use, it includes no italics or abbreviations, and the pattern contains clear, written directions throughout. There are no complicated charts to navigate, making it straightforward for all knitters. This accessible version has been thoroughly checked using read-aloud functions on both Windows PC and Android devices, ensuring that everyone can enjoy this delightful knitting experience.

Get started on your next favorite project with this triangular shawl pattern, and embrace the joy of knitting while creating a beautiful accessory that you can wear proudly!
