Treacle

This beautifully crafted shawl is inspired by the stunning designs showcased during the Nature’s Shades-along, a delightful collaboration between Isla of BritYarn and Louise of Knit British. If you're searching for a knitting project that embodies tranquility and simplicity, you've come to the right place!

As a knitting enthusiast, I cherish garter stitch shawls for their straightforward and mindless appeal, making them ideal for my bustling, everyday life. This pattern stands out with its easy top-down construction, featuring a charming applied lace edging. Enjoy the convenience of not having to pick up stitches or wrestle with casting off the edge of your shawl in a way that allows it to stretch comfortably.

Using just three skeins of DK weight yarn, this pattern produces a large, cozy shawl that you’ll love to wrap around yourself. For those who want to explore different options, consider swapping out DK weight yarn for a fingering weight to create a lighter, airy design—your shawl, your rules! Enjoy the creative freedom that knitting offers you!
