Soulac Shawl

Discover the beauty of the Soulac Crescent Shawl, a delightful knitting pattern that effortlessly combines elegance with simplicity. This intermediate-level pattern is perfect for adventurous beginners and utilizes just 100g of vibrant sock yarn, making it a fantastic way to showcase the stunning hues of variegated sock yarns. Whether you're seeking a relaxing knitting project or transitioning from sock-making, the Soulac shawl offers an enjoyable experience with its easy-to-follow design.

The shawl features a variety of uncomplicated lace patterns that add intrigue while remaining easy to memorize. Knit using a straightforward short row technique, this shawl is designed to be both approachable and rewarding for knitters of all skill levels. The lace patterns are provided in written form, so you won't need to struggle with charts—perfect for those who prefer simplicity.

Named after one of my favorite French beaches, Soulac boasts a stunning lacy lower edging that is worked lengthwise. Once the lacy edging is completed, you'll pick up stitches to seamlessly continue knitting the shawl from the bottom up. This innovative construction technique not only enhances the shawl’s design but also provides an opportunity for knitters to experiment with shaping.

Skill level: Intermediate (although easily achievable for adventurous beginners).

Size: When blocked, the Soulac shawl measures approximately 126 cm in length and 36 cm in depth at the center back, making it the ideal accessory for draping around your shoulders or wearing as a stylish accent piece.
