Dunluce is the first shawl in the Petite Possibilities Shawl Collection. It is a shallow, crescent-shaped shawl, knit sideways from tip-to-tip. It starts at one tip, and is worked with increases on one edge until the desired width is achieved. The short middle section continues in this width, and then the second side is worked with decreases to the opposite tip.

Enjoyable and effortless to knit with no purling, this little scarf/shawlette is the perfect carry-along project. Calling for only a single-skein of fingering weight yarn, it makes the most of that precious skein you’ve been saving.

The width and length are easily customizable to your desired size, and the amount of yarn you have available. Each section can be adjusted to your liking, by working more or fewer pattern repeats. Size options and detailed instructions can be found in a separate PDF titled Dunluce Possibilities.

As a fun bonus you will also receive the Dunluce Shawl cuff pattern. There are two styles to choose from. The cuff is an attractive, finishing touch to your Dunluce Shawl.

TIPS AND TRICKS is a separate 5-page PDF. It contains extra information on all the key details of the shawl. Learn about Visual Row Tracking – my favourite way to count rows. As an experienced knitting instructor, I love to share helpful tips, and offer lots of advice!

SKILL LEVEL - Well within the capabilities of an adventurous beginner, but interesting enough for an experienced knitter to enjoy.

Heartfelt thanks to my enthusiastic, dedicated team of test knitters. Your commitment of time, your expertise, and valuable feedback are greatly appreciated. Please go to Projects to admire their beautiful shawls.

Special thanks to Jaedyn and Tara of Midnight Cravings Yarn Company, SK, Canada, for creating such wonderfully delicious yarn! Your inspiring colours are truly amazing and the yarn is a pleasure to work with. Every stitch is a joy.
