The Sky in the Stream

This stunning shawl pattern offers a delightful blend of knitting techniques to keep you fully engaged and entertained. You'll work through easy garter stitch, dynamic stripes, and slipped stitches, while also mastering short rows and eyelets. Featuring two exquisite skeins of hand-dyed yarn, this design adds a whimsical touch with decorative leaves at the ends of the top edge, making it a perfect accessory for any occasion.

The shawl requires two skeins of fingering weight yarn, utilizing all or nearly all of the main color—approximately 400 yards (366 meters)—along with about three-quarters of the contrast color. Although gauge isn’t critical, it’s important to note that even slight differences in your gauge can affect the total amount of yarn required. Therefore, if you're working with a different gauge than specified, make sure you have ample yarn, particularly of the main color, to successfully complete your beautiful shawl.

To confidently knit this charming shawl pattern, you should be comfortable with several essential techniques, including performing a provisional cast on (any method), executing directional increases (m1L and m1R), and completing short rows (using any method you prefer). Additionally, you’ll need to know how to work simple decreases (k2tog and ssk) and the centered double decrease. This pattern has undergone professional tech editing to ensure clarity and ease of understanding, making it a fantastic choice for knitters of various skill levels.

Perfect for those looking to enhance their knitting skills, this shawl not only combines various techniques but also showcases the beauty of hand-dyed yarn in a unique and stylish way. Enjoy the process of creating a stunning finished piece that you can wear or gift with pride!
