Underneath the Arches

Introducing our beautifully crafted, cosy cabled shawl pattern, inspired by the elegance of a spiral staircase in an abandoned building. This stunning design captures the architectural beauty and intricacies of spirals, making it a perfect project for knitters seeking both challenge and charm.

The shawl is thoughtfully designed in three sections, where the two side panels are worked in simple stockinette stitch, providing a smooth backdrop. The central section, however, brings excitement to your knitting with a striking cabled design that draws the eye and adds depth. By alternating two vibrant colors every two rows, you'll create a stunning visual effect that showcases the intricate cables beautifully. The cables are easily executed through a simple slip stitch technique, making this project accessible even to those who may be newer to cable knitting.

To finish this exquisite shawl, we incorporate a delicate cabled arch pattern along the edges, seamlessly connecting all three panels. The design features extra increases that provide a subtle flair, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the finished piece. The final touch is an elegant i-cord bind-off, which adds a polished finish to your shawl.

This knitting pattern is inclusive and comprehensive, providing both written and charted instructions for your convenience. It has been professionally tech edited and test-knit to ensure clarity and ease of use. The sample shawl is crafted using Under the Olive Tree 4ply, made from 100% Superwash Merino wool, providing a luxurious feel and warmth. An alternative yarn option is suggested below for those interested in exploring different materials.
