Strange Tales

Introducing a captivating shawl pattern inspired by the mystical world of Doctor Strange! This unique shawl features a beautifully textured upper section adorned with delicate lace, evoking the magical elements of the Marvel universe. The middle section showcases a stunning mosaic band, an adaptation of the iconic border seen on Doctor Strange's cloak, crafted in colors that reflect my personal style rather than the traditional yellow. The enchanting border transitions from a few subtle holes to a mesmerizing full mesh design, reminiscent of the stars that represent the magic within the universe.

The intricate lace details come with comprehensive written instructions, while the mosaic technique is provided in an easy-to-follow chart. This shawl pattern is not only visually striking but also customizable. Size: The wingspan measures a generous 142 cm (56 inches) and the depth reaches 71 cm (18 inches), making it an ideal accessory for various occasions. The pattern includes guidelines for easy adjustments so you can create a piece that suits your preferences perfectly.

Needles: For this project, you will need US 6 (4 mm) knitting needles. Yarn: You will require approximately 800 m (872 yards) of fingering weight yarn. The shawl is shown here using DyeForWool Fingering yarn, a luxurious Merino/Silk blend, featuring 1 skein in ground sapphire and 1 skein in burned terracotta. It's important to note that two colors are essential to effectively create the mosaic band.

Difficulty: This pattern is suited for those with lace knowledge, including techniques such as yarn overs, decreases, and the fundamentals of knit and purl stitches. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or looking to expand your skills, this pattern provides a captivating challenge that results in a stunning piece.
