Shallow Waters
Like undulating waves gently caressing small pebbles along the waterfront, the stunning Shallow Waters shawl features flowing shapes and intricately designed motifs that resemble distinct little rocks.
The Shallow Waters shawl is a beautifully lacy design that incorporates strategically placed increases within its captivating motifs. This innovative pattern is wider than a traditional triangle shawl, providing a secure and elegant drape on your shoulders, making it the perfect accessory for any season. You have the flexibility to enlarge the shawl by adding more repeats; however, keep in mind that a surprising amount of yarn will be needed for the intricate edge charts. The pattern is entirely charted, making it easy to follow, and all wrong side rows are knitted as purls, simplifying the process for knitters of all skill levels.
The blue version of the shawl, adorned with lovely nupps, utilizes 2 skeins of Malabrigo Lace in the deep and rich colorway of Azul Profundo, which is composed of 100% Merino wool with a generous yardage of 470 yards (430 meters) per 50 grams. For this shawl, 3.5 mm (US 4) needles were used, resulting in a beautifully blocked size of 61 x 100 x 112 cm (approximately 24 x 39 x 44 inches). The gauge for this stunning shawl is 22 stitches over 10 cm in stockinette stitch.
The turquoise version, embellished with sparkling beads, also requires 2 skeins, this time of Knit Picks Stroll Tonal in the vibrant Canopy colorway. This yarn is a delightful blend of 75% Merino wool and 25% Nylon, offering both softness and durability, with a yardage of 462 yards (422 meters) per 100 grams. For this edition, 4.0 mm (US 6) needles were used, achieving an elegant sealed size of 63 x 104 x 117 cm (about 25 x 41 x 46 inches). Similar to the blue shawl, the gauge remains consistent at 22 stitches per 10 cm in stockinette, ensuring a reliable and beautiful finished product.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just beginning to explore the exquisite world of lace knitting, the Shallow Waters shawl offers a rewarding and visually stunning project that will delight you and those who see you wearing it.
