Vester Hornum

Discover the charming town of Vester Hornum in Denmark, known for its rich heritage where my grandmother grew up and my great grandmother called home. Inspired by this quaint community, we present the Vester Hornum shawl, an exquisite piece that embodies the essence of Danish tie shawls.

The Vester Hornum shawl is a beautifully crafted triangular shawl that can be knitted in a single color or enhanced with three different colors. This lovely accessory features a delightful array of stripes and simple lace patterns throughout, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe. The larger sizes of the shawl are perfect for wearing as a fashionable tie shawl, while the beautifully designed small size, as shown in the picture, offers a delightful touch of elegance.

This knitting pattern is designed for intermediate knitters who are comfortable with basic techniques such as working simple edge patterns, creating garter ridges, and incorporating small lace motifs. The instructions are clearly written to guide you in making increases and decreases, ensuring that you can expertly create your own Vester Hornum shawl.

The pattern calls for a yarn that has a gauge of 28 stitches per 10 centimeters (after blocking), utilizing a yardage of approximately 175-180 meters per 50 grams. This makes it easy for you to select the perfect yarn for your project, whether you prefer a single hue or a colorful blend.

Please note that the pattern does not include finished items or yarn, as it solely provides comprehensive instructions for knitting the beautiful Vester Hornum shawl.
