Wild Ivy Shawl

Introducing the Wild Ivy Shawl, a beautifully designed top-down shawl that features both chart and written instructions, making it easy for knitters of all skill levels to follow along. This enchanting shawl incorporates a stunning leaf motif in a central panel, which I have been eager to create for some time. The final product, the Wild Ivy Shawl, showcases a graceful column of cascading leaves down the spine of the shawl, elegantly flanked by smooth stockinette sections. As the shawl expands, it gracefully transitions into a delicate lace border that evokes the natural beauty of ivy leaves, adding an exquisite touch to your knitting collection.

Materials Needed:
For the Fingering Weight version, you will need two skeins of Blue Ridge Yarns Kaleidoscope Superwash Sock Yarn (100% Merino), providing a total of 400 yards (366 meters) in the vibrant color of Lime. Alternatively, you can use 525-575 yards (480-526 meters) of any fingering weight yarn of your choice. For the Lace Weight version, opt for two skeins of Malabrigo Yarn Lace (100% Merino) that offer 470 yards (430 meters) each, in the lovely color Molly, or select 750 yards (686 meters) of lace weight yarn that suits your style.

Needles:
To craft the Wild Ivy Shawl, use straight or circular needles with a length of at least 32”/80 cm. For both the fingering and lace weight yarn options, you'll want to have US 5 (3.75 mm) needles on hand for optimal results.

Finished Dimensions:
Upon completing your masterpiece and blocking, the dimensions for the Fingering Weight version will be approximately 43.5”/110.5 cm wide and 21”/53.3 cm long at the center points. If you choose the Lace Weight version, expect it to measure around 53”/135 cm wide and 23”/58 cm long, creating a stunning and elegant accessory that you can proudly wear or gift.
