Stars & Wormholes

If you're seeking a touch of sparkle in your knitting projects, you're in the right place! With my growing collection of sparkly yarn, I felt inspired to create something truly special. This beautifully textured striped shawl marries my enduring love for gradients with a chic design that’s perfect for all occasions.

This shawl features a traditional triangular shape, expertly crafted from the top down, beginning with a garter tab cast-on technique. Increases are made on every second row, shaping the triangle while also building your stitch count for an elegant, flowing shawl.
When selecting your colors, it's essential to pick a C1 that presents as relatively neutral. This choice enhances the stitch pattern, ensuring that it shines brightest in a light-colored yarn.

The pattern includes comprehensive written instructions for each section, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. If you prefer working with charts, a condensed chart-only version is conveniently located on page 5 for your ease. This allows for flexibility, whether you're a beginner or an advanced knitter.

Yarn Requirements: You'll need the stunning Devon Sun Yarns Dazzler Sock, which boasts a delightful mix of 75% Merino, 20% Nylon, and 5% Stellina for that perfect sparkle! Each skein offers 400 m / 437 yards per 100g, and you'll need 2 skeins total. Select one skein of:
C1: A neutral color to allow your stitch pattern to shine.
C2: A gradient colorway, ideally sourced from Devon Sun Yarns, dyed on a sock blank for vibrant color transitions.

Needles: For this enchanting shawl, use 3.75 mm / US 5 circular needles to achieve the best results.

Whether you're looking to add a statement piece to your wardrobe or gift a loved one, this sparkly gradient shawl is the perfect project to satisfy your craving for both texture and visual appeal. Get started today and let your knitting journey begin!
