Spirit of the Southwest Shawl
Introducing our stunning shawl pattern that beautifully combines dark rich turquoise, adobe gold, and dusty burgundy hues, all inspired by the captivating landscapes of the Southwest United States. This uniquely-shaped shawl not only celebrates the romance and history of this enchanting area, but it also showcases hand-dyed fingering-weight yarn in a way that is nothing short of breathtaking. Enhanced by a simple lace design and elegant shaping, this pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels.
This delightful shawl is knitted in one continuous piece, starting at the neck edge and gracefully working downwards. The thoughtful construction includes strategically placed increases, ensuring a rounded back with straight front edges that flatter any figure. The contrasting lace portions in dark turquoise are beautifully set against the vibrant garter stripes in the multi-colored yarn, creating a stunning visual effect.
The hem of the shawl is elegantly finished with an original chevron-lace stitch, adding a unique touch that elevates the entire garment. Whether you’re dressing up for a special occasion or looking for a cozy knit to wear with your favorite jeans, this shawl is versatile enough to complement any outfit.
The pattern includes both charted and row-by-row instructions to make your knitting experience smooth and enjoyable. Remember to always slip the first stitch of every row to achieve a neat selvage. Additionally, you will find an easy-to-follow abbreviations list on page 5 of this design for reference.
