Ultramarine
The name ultramarine, which is used to describe a vibrant deep blue pigment, originates from the Latin term ultramarinus, meaning 'beyond the sea'. This concept of vastness and depth is beautifully reflected in our easy crescent shawl pattern, designed for knitters of all skill levels.
This stunning shawl features an elegant wide edge adorned with lacy waves, inspired by a traditional stitch pattern from renowned designer Naomi Parkhurst. The center showcases a serene harbour of gentle cable ripples, encircled by an arc of reflected color that echoes the night lights of a bustling harbor and the awaiting city. It’s a perfect project for those looking to explore the fusion of texture and color in their knitting.
The featured shawl utilizes most of one full-sized skein of Titus yarn, complemented by portions of three coordinating mini skeins, making it a fantastic way to use up your stash. Both the textured stitch section and the delicate lace edging can be customized to any size, ensuring that the shawl can be easily adapted to suit your personal preferences, whether you desire a smaller scarf for quick wear or a larger wrap for extra warmth and style.
The delicate narrow stripes incorporated into the design are effortlessly created by sliding the work to the opposite end of your knitting needles, allowing you to work with just one color at a time. This technique not only simplifies your crafting process but also enhances the visual appeal of the finished shawl.
- The shawl can be knitted entirely from the detailed written pattern or utilizing the accompanying charts with helpful notes for guidance.
- Pattern rows are designed to be worked solely on the right side (RS), making the knitting straightforward and enjoyable.
- This shawl pattern is adaptable to a variety of yardages, ensuring you can create the perfect piece without worrying about running out of yarn.
- Optional beading adds an exquisite touch, allowing you to personalize your shawl with extra sparkle and charm.
- The pattern is versatile and can accommodate a range of yarn weights, from delicate lace to cozy DK yarn, making it suitable for any season.
