Yellowjacket

Introducing the Yellowjacket Shawl, a stunning large triangular shawl designed for knitters of all skill levels! This beautiful piece is worked from the top down, beginning at the center and extending outwards in your choice of sport or fingering weight yarn. The pattern features hexagonal lace sections that evoke the shape of honeycombs, making it a delightful project for those who appreciate intricate, yet simple lacework.

The Yellowjacket Shawl includes a unique double row of bee motifs, crafted using twisted stitches and Estonian gathered stitches, providing an engaging challenge for more experienced knitters. Additionally, charming flower-like clusters of bobble stitches introduce further textural interest to the shawl, ensuring that every stitch brings joy and satisfaction.

Materials Required:
To create your own Yellowjacket Shawl, you will need 6-7 balls of 30g Wister Araeru Sport yarn, or a total of 600m of any sport-weight yarn that matches your preferred color scheme. Pair it with size 6 knitting needles for optimal results. If you find the gathered stitches a bit challenging, having a small crochet hook on hand can be immensely helpful.

Gauge and Size:
The recommended gauge is 16 stitches and 22 rows per 10cm in stockinette stitch, which will yield a finished shawl measuring 115cm from the center to the tip, with a total wingspan of 230cm, making it a cozy and stylish addition to your wardrobe.
