Two Twigs

If you’re a yarn enthusiast like I am, you know the allure of a stunning variegated skein. These beautiful yarns truly deserve a canvas that allows them to shine. Introducing the Two Twigs shawl—a delightful, double-spined design that offers the perfect framework for your yarn to play and showcase its colors!

The Two Twigs shawl features a thoughtfully crafted shape that ensures it drapes beautifully on your shoulders, making it both stylish and practical. This pattern requires 400-600 meters of your choice of fingering weight yarn, allowing for versatility in your selection. The right side rows showcase an elegant lace pattern, which is conveniently charted for easy reading. Plus, if you're looking to craft a larger shawl, you can easily enlarge the project by adding more repeats of the lace pattern.

For example, the striking orange-black version of the shawl, adorned with charming nupps, was created using just one skein of Wollmeise Pure in the captivating colorway Gonsalez [100% wool, 575 yards/526 meters per 150 grams] paired with 3.5 mm (US 4) needles. After blocking, this vibrant piece measures a generous 140 x 45 cm (55 x 18 inches) and has a gauge of 14 stitches = 10 cm in stockinette, making it a stunning addition to your collection.

Another beautiful iteration is the green shawl accented with dazzling beads, crafted with one skein of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in the soft colorway Thoreau [100% merino, 420 yards/384 meters per 100 grams] using 4 mm (US 6) needles. This design features 86 beads in size 2/0, which enhance its elegance. The blocked size of this exquisite piece is 114 x 39 cm (45 x 15.5 inches), with a gauge of 18 stitches = 10 cm in stockinette.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, the Two Twigs shawl pattern is an excellent choice that allows for creativity and personalization. Grab your favorite variegated skein and let your yarn dance across the needles!
