Strawberry fields shawl

Construction This beautiful crescent-shaped shawl begins from the center of the longest side, rapidly expanding in width through thoughtful increases. The color blending section employs a simple yet effective mosaic technique, allowing beginner knitters to easily create stunning patterns by managing one strand at a time. The lace motif features a classic Shetland strawberry design, while the intricate border draws inspiration from traditional Shetland lace. This border is cleverly worked vertically and attached to the main body of the shawl, ensuring seamless and elegant results. Perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit, this shawl design is ideal for knitters looking to enhance their skills and create a beautiful accessory.

Yarn For this enchanting shawl, you'll need fingering weight yarn in two lovely colors, with an approximate requirement of 365-400 meters (or 400-435 yards) per 100 grams. The yarn used in the samples varies by size: for the children's version (small size), you will need approximately 155 meters (170 yards) and 38 grams of Araucania Huasco Sock Kettle Dyes as the main color, and 365 meters (400 yards) and 87 grams of Herzfasern No 20 Deutsche Sockenwolle for the contrast color. For the adult version (medium size), gather around 215 meters (235 yards) and 58 grams of Maruma Hand Dyed Yarns Sheila Socks for the main color, along with 420 meters (460 yards) and 105 grams of Lamana Merida as the contrasting color. This project not only allows you to experiment with color combinations but also provides the opportunity to work with high-quality yarns.

Gauge Achieve the recommended gauge of approximately 23 stitches by 35 rows over 10 cm (4 inches) in stockinette stitch for the larger sample to ensure your shawl has the perfect drape and fit. By adhering to this gauge, you'll create a beautifully crafted shawl that showcases your knitting skills while providing warmth and style to your wardrobe.
