Shadow & Glow

The Shadow and Glow shawl is a beautifully versatile square shawl that offers endless wearability for knitters of all skill levels. This elegant design can be effortlessly transformed into a cushy triangular shawl when folded in half, wrapped around your neck for a stylish scarf look, or draped gracefully over your shoulders for a unique and cozy appearance. The graduated stripes in shadowy grey and glowing green create a stunning visual contrast that varies beautifully depending on how you choose to wear the piece. This project presents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a simple and relaxing knitting experience, as it is worked from the center out in Stockinette stitch, complemented by a charming Garter stitch border. To assist you on your knitting journey, detailed photo tutorials are included for the Provisional Cast On technique used at the beginning of the shawl, as well as the Magic Loop method for seamless circular knitting. The Shadow & Glow shawl uses almost exactly one skein each of luxurious Anzula Cloud (composed of 80% Merino, 10% Cashmere, and 10% Nylon; featuring 575 yards/526 meters per 114 grams) in the elegant shade of Elephant, paired with Shibui Knits Cima (crafted from 70% Alpaca and 30% Merino; offering 328 yards/300 meters per 50 grams) in the radiant shade of Lumen. With its modern design and rich textures, this pattern not only makes for a delightful knitting project but also results in an eye-catching accessory that you'll love to wear. Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift or a stylish addition to your own wardrobe, the Shadow and Glow shawl is sure to impress.
