Zonky Shawl
Zonky Shawl: A One-Skein Wonder in Collaboration with Blue Mule Fiber
Introducing the Zonky Shawl, an exquisite knitting pattern designed as a One-Skein Wonder in collaboration with Blue Mule Fiber. This stunning shawl is named after the unique Zonkey yarn, which features bold sections of black intricately woven together with vibrant colors. The resulting striped effect makes it a standout piece, and I knew I had to create a pattern that would highlight the beauty of this fun and dynamic yarn.
We all have that one special skein that captivates us, and the Zonky Shawl is the perfect way to showcase it. This elegant shawl features a sophisticated herringbone border that beautifully frames a delicate lace interior. To add a charming finishing touch, an optional tassel can be added, giving this design an extra flair. Whether you're looking for a cozy wrap for chilly evenings or a stylish accessory for a night out, the Zonky Shawl has you covered.
MATERIALS: You will need 1 skein of Blue Mule Fiber's Zonky yarn in Finger/Sock Weight, totaling 100 grams and made from 100% Superwash Merino with 21 Micron for softness. Each skein boasts approximately 437 yards of vibrant color in the colorway Texas Ranger. Please note that the yardage mentioned includes enough yarn to craft a tassel.
NEEDLES: To start your project, you will need a Size US 10 (6.00 mm) circular needle, ideally 48 inches (or the longest length you have available). Additionally, a tapestry needle and 2 stitch markers will come in handy for ease of crafting.
GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 34 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in the herringbone pattern. While gauge is not crucial for the lace interior, it’s essential to use the majority of your chosen skein, ensuring you have enough left to bind off and create the optional tassel.
Embrace your creativity with the Zonky Shawl pattern, providing the perfect opportunity to express your individual style while enjoying the pleasure of knitting with a unique yarn. Whether you're a novice knitter or a seasoned pro, this engaging project will enhance your skills and add an eye-catching piece to your collection!
