Τhe Nile
This super drapey semi-circular shawl features two colors of fingering weight yarn. The first part of the shawl is made up with a relaxing garter stitch, several yarn overs and some colored stripes. Then a lace pattern is knitted and the shawl is finished with a fancy border consisting of twisted stitches and a smocked technique. The wavy shape of the side border is achieved by working simple increases and decreases.
Finished measurements: 140 cm wingspan. Measurements taken after blocking.
Yarn: 2 skeins of Fingering weight
TreLiz Ares (85% Superwash Merino – 15% Nylon; 437yds/400m per 100g skein)
Color A – Important Nothings – 1 skein
Color B – Le Louvre – 1 skein
Color A is your main color and it is used in the main body of the shawl.
Color B is used for the final border and for a few stripes in the main body of the shawl.
I recommend you choose two colors with a high-constrast color relationship if you want a bold shawl. Two low-contrast colors will work as well with a softer result.
Yardage:
Color A: aprox 400 m / 100 g
Color B: aprox 320 m / 80 g
Needles: US 4 / 3.5 mm circular
Notions: 2 stitch markers, tapestry needle
Gauge: 24 sts & 42 rows = 4” / 10 cm in garter stitch, measurements taken after blocking.
