Twisted Slipster Blanket Shawl
Introducing our ultra-cozy, supremely squishy shawl—a delightful blanket for your shoulders that you'll love wrapping up in! This easy-to-follow knitting pattern features a simple 4-row repeat, allowing you to get into a meditative rhythm in no time. The double-sided ribbed border beautifully frames a stunning twisted texture on the “right” side, while the thoughtfully designed wrong side offers an equally pleasing aesthetic, making this accessory not only functional but also a true double-sided treasure that you can enjoy anytime and anywhere.
YARN: For this project, we recommend using Cloudborn Fibers Limited Edition Alpaca Worsted, crafted from 100% Baby Alpaca for utmost softness and warmth. The specific color used is Prism, with each skein containing 110 yards (100 meters) and weighing 50 grams (1.75 ounces). You will need approximately 9 skeins, totaling around 985 yards of luxurious yarn to complete your shawl.
NEEDLE: You'll need US8/5mm 24" circular needles, although 24" straight needles are also suitable for this project, depending on your preference.
GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 17 stitches x 25 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) of Stockinette when unblocked. Please note that while gauge is not strictly critical for this accessory, it's a helpful indicator for determining size and yardage. Since Stockinette is not utilized in the project, you can feel free to frog your swatch if you need to rework it!
TOOLS: You'll find it helpful to have 2 stitch markers (optional) and a tapestry needle on hand to weave in ends and finish your shawl beautifully.
SAMPLE SIZE: The finished sample measures 15.5 inches wide by 61 inches long when blocked and weighs approximately 433 grams.
This shawl pattern is perfect for knitters at any skill level looking to create a gorgeous, functional piece that elevates any outfit and provides warmth and comfort. Whether you're cuddling up at home or out on the town, this shawl is sure to be your new favorite accessory.
