Proximity Shawl
This 2 colored striped shawl is knit almost seamlessly in 5 separate sections. Each panel is worked by picking up stitches from the selvage edges of a previously knit section and knitting away from the center which results in multi-directional striping. German short rows and garter detailing are added to the final edging to create a prism-like striping effect.
This pattern is good for the intermediate knitter, one who is comfortable with picking up stitches and increasing/decreasing stitches.
Materials:
MC: At least 280 yds fingering/sock weight yarn (shown in Lambstrings Yarn Sadie Sock HT “Sprinkles on Top.”)
CC At least 300 yds fingering/sock weight yarn (shown in Madelinetosh Merino Light “Ink.”)
Needles:
US #6 and #7, 24” circular needles (to accommodate a large amount of stitches).
25 stitch markers (to mark all GSR’s).
Gauge:
24 sts/34 rows = 4” before blocking.
20 sts/32 rows = 4” after blocking.
Finished Measurements:
50” (127 cm) x 20” (51 cm).
Thank you to my test knitters for giving this a go!!!
