Stoer Shawl
Discover the perfect blend of texture and color in this stunning three-colour wrap, designed with lace, stripes, garter stitch, and short rows that combine to create a visually captivating piece. This generously sized wrap is not only beautiful but also offers ample knitterly interest, making it an engaging project for both novice and experienced knitters alike. Despite its modular appearance, Stoer is crafted strip by strip, which means you’ll have minimal ends to weave in—saving you time and effort!
Using Ripples Crafts’ lofty British breed blend yarn, Cochrane, this wrap is worked at a loose gauge, resulting in a cozy, warm, yet lightweight shawl that is perfect for snuggling on the windiest winter days. If you live in a milder climate, consider adjusting the number of crescents per strip to create a smaller, more adaptable shawl that suits your style all year round.
Yarn Requirements for Stoer Wrap
This pattern calls for three colors of sport weight yarn to achieve the desired effect. For the main color (MC), I highly recommend choosing a lofty, woollen spun yarn, as it will provide both body and drape while maintaining the stated gauge seamlessly.
Required Yardage:
- MC: 265 m / 290 yds
- CC1: 280 m / 306 yds
- CC2: 350 m / 383 yds
The sample wrap is made using Ripplescrafts Cochrane, which is a luxurious blend consisting of 50% Bowmont and 50% Bluefaced Leicester, providing 350 m / 383 yds per 100g skein. The color choices for the sample include:
- MC: Winter Midnight, 1 skein
- CC1: Assynt Peat, 1 skein
- CC2: Oh! Fresh Coconut, 1 skein
With its unique construction and rich texture, the Stoer wrap is not just a stylish accessory; it’s a delightful knitting experience that results in a versatile piece you'll cherish and wear throughout the seasons. Get your needles ready and immerse yourself in this exquisite project that promises both warmth and artistry!
