Touchstone

Discover the beauty of the Touchstone Shawl, a stunning accessory that combines garter stitch and lace stripes in two captivating colours. This engaging knitting project not only showcases the delicate wavy lace but also creates a mesmerizing ripple effect in the garter stitch, making it a delight for knitters at any skill level.

The Touchstone Shawl is expertly knitted diagonally, starting from one corner and progressing to the opposite side. This technique results in a stylish asymmetric triangle that drapes beautifully around your shoulders. Choose your favourite colours from our selection of fingering weight wool, and let your creativity shine as you work on this lovely shawl!

This pattern features comprehensive written instructions, along with optional charted guidance for the lace sections, ensuring that you have all the support you need to knit this exquisite piece with confidence.

YARN: For the Touchstone Shawl, you will require two skeins of Malabrigo Mechita (100% Merino; 384 m / 420 yds per 100 g) in contrasting colours. The sample shawl is showcased in the beautiful hues of Polar Morn (C1) and Sand Bank (C2). You can also opt for any similar fingering weight yarn that inspires you!

YARDAGE: For optimal results, the recommended yardage is as follows: Colour 1 (C1): 346 m / 378 yds and Colour 2 (C2): 307 m / 336 yds. This ensures you have enough yarn to complete your gorgeous garment.

As you work on your shawl, it's essential to use a circular needle that is at least 100 cm / 40 inches long. This length accommodates the increasing number of stitches as you knit, allowing your project to flow smoothly as it grows.

Embrace the joy of knitting with the Touchstone Shawl, and wrap yourself in its warmth and elegance. Perfect for any occasion, this versatile shawl invites you to experiment with colour combinations and create a unique accessory that reflects your personal style!
