Signature
This beautifully crafted shawl is perfect for knitters looking to explore innovative techniques. It features a delightful garter stitch pattern knitted in segments, making it an engaging project for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. You’ll start by using color 1 to create an eye-catching asymmetric triangle (I). Following this, you will skillfully pick up stitches in color 2 to work short rows, resulting in a striking wedge shape (II). Next, with color 3, you’ll create a second wedge in the opposite direction (III), adding an intriguing dimension to your shawl. For those wanting a compact version, you can complete your shawl with a finishing I-Cord. Alternatively, if you're aiming for a more substantial design, you can add a beautiful border (IV) before finalizing your shawl with an I-Cord finish. This pattern is meticulously crafted for fingering weight yarn, with yarn consumption and sizes specifically tailored to this yarn weight for the best results.
For the yarn, we recommend using three colors of Luxlove by Mme Benoir, which is a luxurious blend of 70% Alpaca, 20% Silk, and 10% Cashmere, providing a soft and warm finish. Each skein contains 437 yards (400 meters) per 100g, or feel free to substitute with any high-quality fingering yarn that achieves the required gauge.
You will need a 3mm (US 3) cable needle, ideally with an 80cm length, or any needle that allows you to achieve the required gauge. Speaking of gauge, it is important to note that you will need to achieve 22 stitches and 46 rows, giving you a measurement of 10cm (4 inches) when knitted in garter stitch after washing and blocking. Following this pattern will not only help you create a stunning accessory but also allow you to practice and enhance your knitting skills. Plan your colors, gather your materials, and embark on this beautiful knitting journey to create a shawl that you’ll cherish for years to come!
