Unchained melody shawl

This exquisite lace shawl pattern features a stunning yet easy-to-make design reminiscent of the elegant little chain links found in the popular Unchained Melody cowl and neck warmer. While the stitch is similar, this shawl presents a unique construction and shape that is both eye-catching and functional. Designed for just one 100g hank of handpainted sock yarn (approximately 400m), this pattern calls for double-stranding it with fine mohair—ideally, you'll want 400m of each yarn type. If you're a fan of mohair, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how a touch of this delightful fluff can transform and elevate your final piece. Have fun selecting the perfect fluff! You can use mohair to soften the visual impact of highly variegated yarns (let’s face it, we all love those vibrant options!) or opt for a tone that highlights a particular color within a variegated yarn. Alternatively, a plain color wool paired with an exquisite mohair can give your shawl that extra touch of luxury you’re aiming for.

This shawl boasts an asymmetrical construction that not only adds visual interest but also allows for a variety of wearing options. The size of the shawl is easily adjustable to your preference—if you have enough yarn, simply continue your stitch work until you achieve your desired dimensions. Whether you're new to knitting or an experienced crafter, this pattern provides a fantastic opportunity to explore your creativity while producing a beautiful shawl that will surely be a cherished addition to your wardrobe.
