Vaike

Introducing the Vaike shawl, a stunning piece crafted from the narrow point of the left edge for a sleek silhouette. This unique knitting pattern features stitches that are beautifully increased on every right side (RS) row within the intricate cable design, seamlessly transitioning into a luxurious Stockinette stitch section. The finishing touch is a charming 3 x 1 ribbing that adds texture and depth. The combination of chunky cables, smooth Stockinette, and elegant ribbing gives this shawl a sophisticated yet casually chic look, making it a versatile accessory for any wardrobe.

To achieve the perfect fit and appearance, pay close attention to the gauge. You will need to meet a gauge of 22.5 stitches x 30 rows, which equates to 4" (10 cm) in the cable pattern after blocking. Additionally, in the Stockinette stitch section, strive for a gauge of 18 stitches x 30 rows to ensure uniformity.

The original yarn used for this beautiful shawl is mYak Baby Yak Lace, held double for added warmth and softness. If you're considering alternatives, we suggest approximately 1859 yards (1700 m) of lace weight yarn held double for the perfect drape or around 930 yards (850 m) of a heavy fingering/sport weight yarn held single for a slightly different texture and weight. The shawl is illustrated in a lovely 'oatmeal' color, but feel free to choose any hue that matches your personal style.
