The Flamenciosa Shawl pattern guides you through creating a beautiful, highly-textured garment that’s a joy to create and to wear. The size and shape sits between a typical shawl and scarf, making it versatile in how you choose to style it. The larger than typical needle size for the yarn creates a lighter weight end result with airy stitches you can wear almost any time of year.

Flamenciosa originally launched as a kit with 4 exclusive hand-dyed colorways from Posies & Pockets curated especially for the pattern release on her luscious 85/15 DK weight (superwash Merino & nylon). You may use any 4 colorways of DK weight yarn you’d like, assigning each as colors A, B, C, and D in the pattern. Consider using cotton, linen, or bamboo for an even lighter weight summer style!

I consider this pattern to be an “adventurous beginner” level with simple knits, purls, increases, and decreases all worked flat from side-to-side. The written pattern includes highly structured formatting, a schematic, and plenty of notes to make it easy to follow and help ensure your success.
