Side by side shawl

Introducing the Side by Side Narrow Shawl, a versatile knitting pattern perfect for creating stunning accessories with a variety of yarns, gauges, and color combinations. This beautiful shawl is crafted by working from one narrow end to the other, starting and finishing with just 7 stitches. Knitters will enjoy an engaging process that includes one stitch increases near the intricate Lace Edge every 4 rows, continuing until you have used nearly half of your yarn. After this, we'll work 10 rows flat before incorporating decreases every 4 rows to bring it back down to 7 stitches, resulting in a beautifully tapered finish.

Whether you’re using a single color yarn or experimenting with multiple hues, it's easy to keep track of your yarn usage. Simply weigh your yarn at the beginning and enjoy the journey of creating your masterpiece. For a lighter, airy version of the shawl, consider using a luxurious mohair/silk lace. Alternatively, a solid color or variegated 4ply (fingering) merino or cotton yarn can add a delightful texture. For those seeking something more substantial, an 8 ply (DK) yarn would create a cozy, textured shawl that’s perfect for cooler weather.

Mini skeins or fade sets are fantastic options for this project! You can seamlessly transition from light to dark shades or start and end with the same color while arranging the fading effect in between according to your personal style. The Side by Side Narrow Shawl can be customized to match any wardrobe, making it a must-have addition to your knitting collection. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern offers endless creative possibilities and is sure to become a favorite piece in your accessories lineup.
