Splash
Experience the beauty of spring storms with our stunning "Splash" shawl knitting pattern, inspired by the vibrant colors and soothing raindrops that grace our windows during this refreshing season. This acute triangle shawl features a delightful blend of colors, showcasing corrugated garter stitches that beautifully mimic the smears of color created by rain. The design culminates in a striking 'splash' of color, making it a visually captivating addition to any wardrobe.
The "Splash" shawl is designed with simple shaping and a four-row repeat for the body, making it an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels. While it may look intricate, this shawl is deceptively easy to create, serving as the perfect stepping stone into the world of brioche knitting. Utilizing the same two-color garter technique, you'll gain confidence and expertise as you work through this beautiful pattern.
To knit the "Splash" shawl, you will need 1000 yards (914 meters) of fingering weight yarn. We recommend using US size 4 (3.5mm) needles on a 32” (80cm) or longer cord to comfortably accommodate the shawl's width as it grows. Don’t forget your tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends!
For the best results, ensure your gauge matches 24 stitches by 21 garter bumps to achieve a size of 69" wide by 30" deep (175 cm wide by 76 cm deep). The "Splash" shawl is easily customizable, allowing you to adjust the size to perfectly fit your style and preference. Be sure to check your gauge, adjusting your needle size if necessary for that flawless finish!
Whether you're creating a lovely gift for a friend or treating yourself to a beautiful new accessory, the "Splash" shawl is the perfect project to brighten your spring wardrobe. Discover the joy of knitting this stunning design and let your creativity flow with every stitch!
