Vanilla shawl

The Vanilla Shawl knitting pattern is a beautifully crafted piece designed to be worked from the center top down. This unique construction method involves increasing stitches on each row side, shaping the shawl into a stunning crescent form that drapes elegantly around the shoulders. The pattern is comprehensive, featuring a detailed written description, easy-to-follow charts, a helpful video tutorial, and thorough recommendations for washing and blocking your finished project to ensure it looks its best.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches and 40 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch after blocking. This gauge is essential for ensuring your Vanilla Shawl has the right dimensions and drape.

Yarn: We recommend using Knoll Soft Donegal Tweed, made from 100% merino wool. Each skein weighs 100 grams and offers an impressive 380 meters (416 yards) of luxurious yarn. Alternatively, any fingering weight yarn can be used to create this versatile shawl.

Notions: For this project, you will need US 1.5 (2.50 mm) circular needles, US 1.5 (2.50 mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs), stitch markers, a crochet hook, scissors, and a tapestry needle to weave in your ends for a polished look.

Techniques Used: This pattern incorporates a variety of knitting techniques, including the provisional cast on, working flat, knitting and purling, as well as increasing and decreasing stitches. As such, it is perfect for adventurous beginners and experienced knitters alike.
