Seven Days Shawl
Introducing the stunning Seven Days Shawl, a beautifully crafted knitted accessory that showcases the intricate art of stockinette stitch. This shawl is designed using a blend of two different types of yarn in contrasting colors held together, offering both texture and visual appeal. To create a rustic wool surface adorned with exquisite mohair flashes, we use two threads of Finnish fingering wool combined with one luxurious thread of silk mohair. The shawl features seven elegant wedges, elegantly separated by a series of wraps crafted with a single color yarn, reminiscent of the charming i-cord finishing that gracefully runs clockwise along the entire edge.
This innovative design utilizes a refined technique of short rows, incorporating a revised turn and slip method to achieve its captivating half-circle shape. The unique construction not only enhances its silhouette but also contributes to the delightful decorative “eyelashes” and airiness created by strategically placed holes throughout the fabric. The Seven Days Shawl is not just a knitting project; it's a journey through intricate techniques and stunning colors that will elevate your knitting skills and wardrobe alike!
