Sophie's Rose Shawlette

Introducing Sophie's Rose, a beautifully asymmetric triangular shawl that captures the essence of a summer garden. This exquisite design features delicate rows of roses carefully set against a charming garden trellis backdrop. Knitted from the tip to the base, Sophie's Rose culminates in a stunningly deep and extravagant ruffle that adds a romantic flair to any outfit. Designed in collaboration with MadelineTosh, renowned for its vibrant yarns, the Sophie's Rose shawl is available in a custom colorway inspired by Anne Lindquist, the owner of For Yarn's Sake. This special gradient showcases hints of pink, celebrating the arrival of her granddaughter Sophie.

The shawl wonderfully combines the enchanting Tosh Merino Light in the unique Sophie's Rose colorway with Knitted Wit's Madge, a delightful Single-Fingering yarn, to create a piece that embodies the romance of blooming gardens. Both skeins come together harmoniously, making this knitting project perfect for advanced beginners and seasoned knitters alike.

As you embark on this delightful knitting endeavor, please note the errata: the gauge is cited as both 8 stitches per inch and 22 stitches per 4 inches. The correct gauge is 22 stitches over 4 inches, which translates to 5.5 stitches per inch, measured over the trellis stitch pattern (this gauge is consistent with stockinette stitch as well). Ensuring proper gauge will help you achieve the ideal fit and drape for your finished shawl.

Additionally, it's important to note that all slipped stitches in this pattern are to be slipped as if to purl, which is a helpful tip for maintaining the design's integrity. With its unique construction and romantic design, Sophie's Rose is more than just a shawl; it's a beautiful tribute to the joys of family and the natural beauty of a garden.
