Silver Rose Shawl
At first glance, the asymmetrical triangle-shaped Silver Rose shawl may appear to be just another regular stripe-patterned accessory. However, the real charm of this stunning shawl lies in its unique design. The shape is accentuated by carefully placed stripes along the edges that beautifully taper towards the corner, creating a visually striking effect. Longitudinal stripes drape elegantly over the shoulders, providing the shawl with a lovely, versatile base that can be worn in various styles for any occasion.
This gorgeous shawl is crafted using simple stocking stitch and garter stitch techniques, making it an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels. The relaxing nature of these stitches ensures a satisfying knitting experience. The relationships between the garter stitch and the smooth stripes of the stocking stitch create a beautiful contrast that enhances the overall aesthetic of the shawl.
The construction of the Silver Rose shawl begins with knitting an I-cord edge on one side. From this edge, stitches are picked up to gradually grow the shawl's size. Its unique round shape is achieved through the strategic use of decreases and short rows, allowing for a flattering drape that hugs the body. To complete the shawl, an I-cord bind off is used for a clean and polished finish, ensuring durability and elegance.
For this beautiful shawl, we recommend using fingering weight yarn in three harmonious colors: Color A: 100g / 420 yds / 385 m, Color B: 80g / 336 yds / 307 m, and Color C (for the I-cord edge): 15g / 63 yds / 58 m. The shawl is beautifully showcased in Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light, featuring Color A: Black Velvet, Color B: Silver Fox, and Color C (I-cord edge): Dirty Panther.
