Spotlight

Generous and versatile, the Spotlight shawl is an everyday essential that combines functionality with a luxurious feel. The stunning accessory features a beautiful lace pattern adorned with delicate picot edging, making it the focal point of your knitting project.

Uniquely designed, Spotlight is knitted sideways, resulting in a slightly asymmetric triangle silhouette that adds visual intrigue. This pattern offers a delightful mix of garter stitch, eyelets, stripes, and intricate lacework, ensuring that you remain engaged and entertained throughout your entire crafting journey.

Yarn Requirements: To complete this eye-catching shawl, you will need two colors of high-quality fingering weight yarn. The specified quantities are 336 m (368 yds) of Color 1 (C1) and 242 m (265 yds) of Color 2 (C2). The pattern is beautifully illustrated using Madelinetosh Tosh Sock yarn in the colors Oak (C1) and Silver Fox (C2), providing an excellent example of how vibrant and versatile the finished shawl can be.

Stitches Utilized: The design incorporates a variety of stitches, including knit, purl, yarn over (yo), knit two together (k2tog), knit front and back (kfb), slip-slip-knit (ssk), slip knit-pass over (slkpsso), and slip 2, knit 1, pass over (sl2k1psso) to create texture and dimension.

Needle Information: For this project, a size 4 mm / US 6 needle is recommended. Although the shawl is worked flat, using a 100 cm / 40 inch circular needle is advisable to comfortably accommodate the increasing number of stitches as you progress.
