Two Weddings
Introducing a stunning shawl designed exclusively for a very special bride, Karida of Neighborhood Fiber Company. Embracing her non-traditional style, this unique lace shawl features an unconventional design that perfectly complements her individuality. Karida selected the exquisite colorway that matches her tulle, leaving the rest of the creative process to me! Inspired by her, my sister—who also embraces a non-traditional approach—requested a similar shawl for her own wedding day.
This beautifully crafted shawl measures 21”x63” once wet blocked, making it the perfect accessory for any bride looking to add a touch of elegance to her special day.
**Yarn Details:** The shawl is made using Neighborhood Fiber Company Maisonette Lace, a luxurious blend of 50% Superwash Merino and 50% silk. The sample was knit in the stunning 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue colorway, requiring approximately 800 yards of this high-quality yarn.
**Needle Information:** For this project, you will need a 24” or longer circular needle in size 4 US (3.5mm), or another size that helps you achieve the desired gauge.
**Gauge:** The pattern achieves a gauge of 4.5 stitches per inch in wet-blocked stockinette stitch. While gauge is not critical for this shawl, it will affect both the yardage required and the final drape of the fabric. Experiment with your gauge to find the perfect balance between style and comfort.
**Notions Required:** To complete this delightful project, gather size 6/0 beads and a small crochet hook for the beading technique, along with optional stitch markers for organization. You'll also need a darning needle for weaving in those pesky ends after finishing your beautiful shawl.
Perfect for non-traditional brides or anyone looking for a unique shawl to wear on special occasions, this pattern is a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding or simply want to create a special piece for yourself, this shawl will surely become a cherished accessory.
