Two Steps Forward Shawl
Introducing the Two Steps Forward Shawl, an exquisite knitting pattern designed to be crafted from tip to tip. This unique pattern features double increases and decreases, which create a stunning step-like effect along the bottom edge. With its reversible mesh-like lace pattern, this shawl is not only beautiful but also incredibly versatile, allowing for effortless styling regardless of which side you choose to wear.
For this project, you'll need approximately 400 yards of fingering weight yarn. The sample showcased is crafted in Anzula Lunaris, a luxurious blend of 80% Superwash Merino, 10% Cashmere, and 10% Stellina, which lends a soft, shimmering quality to the finished piece. The dimensions of the shawl, AFTER BLOCKING, measure an impressive 72 inches in wingspan and 17 inches in depth, making it the perfect accessory to wrap around your shoulders or drape elegantly.
You'll need US size 5 needles and a tapestry needle for finishing. The gauge for this pattern is 30 stitches by 40 rows per 4 inches in garter stitch when using US size 5 needles. Keep in mind that since this is a shawl, achieving an exact gauge is not critical, giving you the freedom to enjoy the knitting process without stress.
