Sylvania Shawl

Sylvania Shawl is a beautifully designed triangular shawl featuring a stunningly intricate large spine adorned with delicate leaves and intricate cable patterns. This elegant shawl is worked top-down, making it a rewarding project for knitters of all skill levels. The border is skillfully knitted from left to right by picking up stitches from the last row of the shawl, providing a polished finish that enhances the overall design.

This versatile pattern has been created for both fingering and DK weight yarn, but it can be customized for any yarn type you prefer. Two sizes are suggested in the pattern: a large version and a small version. However, feel free to add or remove rows from the body of the shawl to achieve your desired size, whether you’re using smaller or larger yarn. The pattern thoughtfully indicates where to make these adjustments, allowing you to tailor the shawl to your personal preferences.

The large version (shown in beige) utilizes 610 yards of DK weight yarn and has a gauge of 17 stitches and 29 rows per 4 inches. Once completed, this stunning shawl measures approximately 72 inches wide at the top edge and 34 inches high at the point, making it a dramatic accessory perfect for any occasion. On the other hand, the small version (featured in dark yarn) requires 480 yards of fingering weight yarn, with a gauge of 23 stitches and 32 rows per 4 inches, creating a more compact yet equally beautiful shawl.

With its combination of elegant design and customizable sizing, the Sylvania Shawl pattern is ideal for knitters looking to create a standout piece for themselves or as a thoughtful gift. Challenge your skills while enjoying the artistry of the leaves and cables, and relish the cozy warmth that this shawl will provide.
