Shawl Natalie's summer
Introducing a beautifully designed shawl pattern, inspired by the warmth and love of my mother-in-law. This unique triangular shawl was initially crafted as a heartfelt gift for her, serving as a cherished reminder to me and my daughters that, despite our differing opinions, we can always express love and appreciation for one another. This sentimental piece is perfect for knitters looking to create a thoughtful and meaningful gift for loved ones.
The shawl features a classic triangular shape, beginning with the longest side and knitted from the center outwards. The design incorporates a delightful increase technique, adding 4 stitches in every second row—2 stitches along both sides of the center spine and 2 stitches alongside each border. The border consists of traditional garter stitch, which enhances the shawl's elegance. The main body showcases a combination of stockinette, garter, and simple eyelet lace patterns, culminating in a striking finish adorned with beautiful lace butterflies.
**NOTE:** The lace butterfly section of the shawl is crafted seamlessly without any rest rows, allowing the lace to be formed in every row for a fluid and dynamic aesthetic.
This versatile shawl pattern can be adapted using various yarn types, including worsted, sock, or fingering weight, though keep in mind that this choice will affect the final size and yardage needed for your project. Whether you're crafting for yourself or as a gift, this shawl will be a stunning addition to any wardrobe.
The final dimensions of the completed samples are as follows: When using Malabrigo Rios, the shawl measures 80cm (31.5’’) in depth and 160cm (63’’) in span. Alternatively, with Laines du Nord Poema yarn, the dimensions are 67cm (26.37’’) in depth and 137cm (53.93’’) in span.
This comprehensive pattern provides both detailed charts and fully written instructions, making it suitable for knitters of all skill levels.
