Western Shawl version 2

This stunning crescent-shaped shawl is designed to elegantly drape around your shoulders, eliminating the need for a shawl pin to keep it securely in place. Perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters, this pattern offers a unique blend of comfort and style.

The shawl is intricately knitted using garter stitch, featuring delightful 2-row stripes that add a touch of visual interest. You’ll start your project with a garter stitch tab, followed by outer edges that are increased every row, while additional increases are strategically worked every other row. The construction begins with a single increase point, and as you progress, more increase points are introduced to create a beautifully expansive design. To finish, the stitches are cast off with a delicate lace point edging, enhancing the shawl’s overall sophistication.

This versatile shawl can be started on straight needles; however, you'll transition to a long circular needle toward the end to accommodate the growing number of stitches along the shawl's bottom edge. This ensures smooth knitting and an enjoyable crafting experience.

Choose your yarn wisely! This pattern allows you to either use a single color yarn for a classic look or indulge in a vibrant cake yarn for a more dynamic finish. If you desire a larger shawl, opt for a DK weight yarn to achieve the perfect size for wrapping around yourself or gifting to a loved one.

Perfect for any occasion, this crescent shawl knitting pattern is not just a project; it’s an opportunity to create a timeless accessory that you can wear or gift with pride. Download the pattern today and let your creativity flow!
