Variations

Indulging in the luxurious experience of knitting with silk is truly divine, and there's nothing quite like the sensation of wearing your beautifully crafted garment. For this project, I chose a stunning tussah silk from Borg, which is unfortunately discontinued, in a soft light yellow shade. This versatile color allows for easy accessorizing with elegant gold shoes and a bold statement necklace, adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

The featured shawl pattern is intricately designed using two strands of lace weight silk held together, creating a delicate, reversible lace pattern that exudes elegance from every angle. This versatile piece can be styled in multiple ways: button it up as a cozy shrug for warmth or wear it open as a stylish vest, depending on your mood and occasion. To complement the shawl, there’s an accompanying snood, artfully knitted using a single strand in the round. This design choice not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides a beautiful contrast to the shawl, making it a perfect accessory to use as a chic collar.

This pattern is ideal for intermediate knitters looking to refine their skills while creating a stunning piece that showcases both technique and luxury. Whether you're preparing for a special event or simply want to elevate your everyday wardrobe, this silk shawl and snood duo is sure to become a cherished addition to your collection. Don’t miss the chance to work with this exquisite tussah silk and create a masterpiece that you'll love to wear and show off!
