Undulation Shawl
Introducing "Undulation," the third masterpiece in our Isle of Skye inspired knitting designs. This stunning shawl beautifully captures the essence of the continuous up and down shapes and rhythmic movements found in the sea surrounding Skye. The intricate wave motion is skillfully reflected in the undulating surfaces present throughout the island's breathtaking landscape.
The Undulation shawl features an asymmetrical, sideways knitted triangle design that makes it as unique as it is cozy. This delightful piece begins with the lace border along the bottom edge, where you’ll cast on a foundation of stitches. As you progress, stitches are decreased only along the left side, guiding you down to the point at the opposite end. This clever construction allows the right edge to remain unshaped, creating a beautiful bobble element that flows upward from the border, resulting in an elegantly framed edge.
This generously sized shawl is not only warm and comfortable but also showcases a captivating array of changing lace and texture patterns. It highlights the exquisite Shilasdair’s hand-dyed Smuid Yarn, lovingly crafted by Kirsty and Simon on the Isle of Skye using only natural ingredients. The yarn's unique blend of 75% Blue Face Leicester and 25% Gotland offers unparalleled softness and warmth, while its gorgeous hue—Light Indigo in the sample—adds a touch of elegance to your knitted creations.
Shilasdair Smuid is a luxurious 4 ply yarn, presented in 50g skeins that provide 175m of yarn each. For this pattern, you'll need a total of 300g to complete your project. To ensure your knitting experience is enjoyable and efficient, we recommend using a 3.5mm circular knitting needle (100cm length) to easily accommodate all the stitches involved.
Embrace the tranquility of the Isle of Skye with the Undulation shawl, a beautiful knitting project that combines artistry with comfort. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, this pattern will inspire you to create a wrap that is both functional and a stunning testament to nature's beauty.
