Upstream

Introducing the Upstream Shawl pattern: a stunning yet lightweight asymmetrical shawl that is perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This pattern is deceptively simple, using only basic knit and purl stitches, with the occasional purposely dropped stitch that creates a graceful wavy effect. There’s no need to worry about complicated lace stitches, making this shawl an enjoyable project for anyone looking to enhance their knitting repertoire.

The Upstream Shawl cleverly combines knit and purl stitches, resulting in a beautiful texture that enhances the aesthetic appeal of the finished piece. Plus, it's completely reversible, allowing you to showcase two stunning sides, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

The unique picot edges of the shawl are achieved through an innovative casting-off method, where stitches are cast off at both the beginning and the end of the row. To ensure success, this pattern includes a video tutorial that walks you step-by-step through the entire process, making it beginner-friendly.

This pattern is specifically designed to showcase stunning sock blank gradients or beautiful skeins of 4 ply sock yarn. For the best results, we recommend selecting a yarn that features a cohesive range of colors, as intricate details like the drop stitch pattern may be obscured in overly busy yarns. The shawl also looks equally fantastic in a solid color yarn, allowing your creativity to shine.

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable crafting experience, the Upstream Shawl pattern includes both written and charted instructions. It has been professionally tech edited and thoroughly test knit, giving you confidence in the accuracy and quality of the pattern.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, the Upstream Shawl is a delightful project that will bring warmth and style to your collection. Download the Upstream Shawl pattern today and embark on your next creative adventure!
