Spice Road

Spice Road Shawl Pattern is an exquisite three-color shawl that combines soothing garter stitch with an engaging textured slip-stitch pattern—crafted entirely without a single purl stitch! This beautifully designed shawl is perfect for creating a stunning three-color fade that transitions gracefully from light to dark or from subtle tones to saturated hues.

The shawl features alternating sections of one-color garter stitch and two-color slip stitches, making it a fascinating project for knitters at various skill levels. Worked in light fingering or fingering-weight yarn, the Spice Road shawl offers a unique top-down construction that allows for easy adjustments. The final touch includes a sawtooth bind-off created with clever short rows, ensuring an eye-catching finish. Additionally, built-in i-cord edgings elegantly frame the shawl along all three sides.

Designed to be worked on the bias, the Spice Road shawl forms an asymmetrical triangle that adds a modern flair to your knitting collection. The pattern is available in two convenient sizes: the full Shawl and the versatile Shawlette. Choose your favorite trio of colors and embark on your knitting adventure!

This pattern is handedness neutral, making it easy for any knitter to follow. It's thoroughly written with both metric and US terminology, and for the slip-stitch pattern, only written instructions are provided for clarity. Remember to check the gauge to ensure a perfectly sized project: 21 sts × 40 rows (20 garter ridges) = 10 cm / 4" in garter stitch, blocked.
