Spanish Peaks Shawl

Introducing our stunning lace shawl pattern, inspired by the breathtaking Spanish Peaks, a remarkable pair of mountains nestled near the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Southern Colorado. These majestic peaks were the first monumental sight I encountered while traveling from the flat landscapes of Iowa to visit my daughter’s family. Their impressive stature left a lasting impression, and I wanted to capture that beauty in this design.

This shawl features an easy-to-knit garter stitch pattern, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Ideal for showcasing variegated yarns or yarn with long color changes, this piece is knitted from end to end. The design begins with an increase to form a lovely triangle shape, followed by a decrease that perfectly balances the shawl's silhouette. The lace portion features a simple, easy-to-memorize repeat, complemented by a sophisticated two-stitch I-cord edging that provides a beautiful, polished finish.

Versatility is a key feature of this shawl pattern. You can easily adjust the size to accommodate your preferences and the amount of available yarn. Whether you choose to work with a lighter or heavier weight yarn, simply modify the needle size and vary the number of repeats to achieve your desired dimensions. Within our pattern, we offer helpful suggestions for these adjustments so you can customize your shawl to match your unique style and taste.

Important Note: Please be aware that any change in yarn weight or the overall size of the shawl will affect the amount of yarn required. Plan accordingly to ensure you have enough yarn to complete your project.
