Engaging
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Engaging begins with a provisional cast-on and then dives into the fun to knit hemmed picot edge. From there you will begin to intermingle in a delicate lace pattern before relaxing into an ever-diminishing field of tiny little bobbles and can be replaced with beads if that is your jam. The generous yardage will result in a large off-center triangle shape with lots of drape and versatility to be styled in various ways.
This is a textured asymmetrical triangle shawl knitted from the bottom-up and showcasing an elegant lace edge that is engaging (but not too hard) to knit.
While I was in the middle of designing this new shawl -using what must be the most delicate color ever- Himalayan Salt (I mean every single time someone sees me knitting with it they rush to Four Purls or their LYS to buy it) I received the news that one of my favorite couples had just got ENGAGED!!!!
I knew this design had a few ideas that needed to be explored, so I grabbed the next perfect color I could think of Mint To Be and got to work.

Materials
Yarn:
Main Color- Emma’s Yarn Splendid Singles (100% Superwash Merino 400yards/100grams)
Samples knit in-
MC: Mint To Be, 3 skeins, 1100 yards
MC: Himalayan Salt, 3 skeins, 1100 yards
Bobble Color: Emma’s Yarn Practically Perfect Smalls (80% Superwash Merino/ 20% Nylon, 81yards/20g)
BC: Whisper, 40 yards
Needles: two - US 5/3.75 mm circular needles used for lace section, the second needle required for hemmed picot edge
One - US 4/3.5 mm circular needle for body of shawl
Notions: crochet hook, waste yarn, stitch markers (recommended for lace section), T-pins and blocking wires for blocking
Optional in place of bobbles- size 6/0 seed beads, size 14 US / 0.75 mm steel crochet hook for bead stitch
Gauge: 24 stitches = 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch after blocking. Although gauge is not crucial for this project, it will affect the finished size and yarn requirements. A looser gauge will result in the use of more yarn.
Finished size: 60” x 72” x 42” blocked
-This is a line by line written pattern with charts for the picot hemmed edge and beautiful lace sections
