Through The Darkness
Experience the tranquil beauty of a dark evening sky on a deep winter’s night with our heart-shaped triangle shawl knitting pattern. This exclusive shawl combines classic garter stitch with intricate dimensional lace, bringing a stunning visual appeal to your knitting project. Designed with adventurous beginners in mind, this pattern offers a delightful challenge while providing a calming and creative outlet. The shawl, while not completely reversible, features a back side that is just as attractive as the front, ensuring it looks fantastic no matter which side is displayed!
For this exquisite project, you will need 450 yards (412 meters) of DK weight (8-ply) yarn, which is essential for achieving the desired gauge. Our sample was beautifully crafted using Madelinetosh Twist DK in the shade Dirty Panther, but feel free to choose any color that inspires you!
To get started, you'll need a US size 8 (5 mm) long circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches involved in this pattern. Additionally, don’t forget to gather a few essential notions: a tapestry needle, one stitch marker, and either a safety pin or a removable marker for your convenience.
As for the gauge, aim for 16 stitches equal to 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch after wet blocking. While the gauge is not overly critical, keep in mind that it may affect yardage and the final dimensions of your shawl.
Embrace your creative side and enjoy the meditative process of knitting this heart-shaped shawl pattern. Perfect for your winter wardrobe or as a heartfelt gift, this pattern is bound to become a cherished project in your knitting repertoire!
