Semi-Precious Shawl

Discover the Semi-Precious Shawl, a stunning knitting pattern first unveiled in 2017 as part of the Madeline Tosh shawl club subscription from Jimmy Beans Wool. Originally designed with an array of 12 vibrant colors, this classic shawl entices knitters with its intricate beauty. However, I've always envisioned a simplified 2-color version, primarily to eliminate the hassle of weaving in numerous ends! The result is an elegantly asymmetrical shawl that is perfectly sized for light neck and shoulder coverage, making it an ideal accessory for transitional seasons.

This new 2-color version requires just 300 yards (50g) of each color, totaling 600 yards of luxurious yarn. One of the standout features of this shawl is its simplicity—only one color is used per row, allowing for a relaxing knitting experience that’s easy to pick up and put down. This flexibility also allows for the option of incorporating eyelet stripes at the end, giving you the chance to use up every last inch of your yarn creatively!

For this version, I've chosen a sumptuous cashmere linen blend yarn that I’ve cherished for years. This yarn blends warmth with an airy feel, making it perfect for those crisp fall days or breezy spring evenings. However, the pattern is versatile and can be successfully crafted with any light fingering or fingering weight yarn! Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just beginning your crafting journey, this Semi-Precious Shawl pattern is sure to become a cherished addition to your collection. Dive into your next project and enjoy the luxurious experience of knitting with this delightful pattern!
