Tuscan Romance

Introducing our Easy Attractive Shawl, a delightful knitting project that was the star of a recent mystery knitalong hosted in my shop! This project has proven to be a great success, with many participants inspired to create multiple shawls, each uniquely beautiful. This shawl is designed to be a quick knit, utilizing size US 11 needles, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels who want to create something stunning in a short amount of time.

This pattern includes a variety of techniques to enhance your knitting skills: you’ll enjoy working with a touch of lace, experimenting with beading, trying your hand at colorwork, and incorporating a few short rows. This shawl is not only visually appealing but also a fun way to develop your knitting repertoire.

To create your Easy Attractive Shawl, you will need three skeins of the scrumptious Malabrigo Worsted yarn in coordinating colors. This shawl looks particularly striking when crafted in a monochromatic color scheme, allowing you to explore shades and tones that complement each other beautifully. Additionally, for those interested in adding a little sparkle, you’ll need eighteen 3/0 or 2/0 beads for the lace sections of the design. A crochet hook that is large enough to hold the yarn but small enough to thread through the beads will be necessary if you choose to incorporate this embellishment, but don’t worry if you prefer a bead-free look—this accessory is completely optional!
