Woven Shawl
This shawl is packed with texture and interest so there’s hardly a dull moment as you create a squishy cosy fabric utilizing both the Right and Wrong side produced with bands of Linen stitch, as well as twisted stitches, bobbles, cables and garter stripes, creating an almost olden world woven look, from another era but also timeless in its snuggly promise. It is a top-down DK weight triangular shawl, with regular increases at both sides and centre to create a slightly shallow triangle with a picot edging.
Knitting skills & techniques used:
Intermediate - Advanced: Casting on, binding off (with picot option), knitting, purling, slipping stitches purlwise, passing stitches over, Right & Left Twists, cables, & bobbles. It involves regular increasing by way of Knit 1 Front & Back and Make 1 Left & Make 1 Right.
Materials:
The following yarn usage amount is an approximate guide and is in fact a little over the actual amount I used, as I have applied an approx. 10% buffer of each ball used, plus rounded up the numbers, in view of differences between knitter’s gauge and such, and to give you a few grams room:
Requires approx. 968 yards / 885 metres DK weight yarn.
For the Sample I used: Emiteri Yarns, Merino DK, ‘War of the Roses set’
(100% Wool - Merino, 100g, 246 yards / 225 meters) in the Lightest and Darkest colourways from the 3 skein set as listed below, but any wool based DK Weight yarn of choice should work fine.
Yarn A: (The lightest of the set), 494 yards / 452 metres
Yarn B: (The darkest of the set), 474 yards / 433 metres
Needles: 5mm / US 8 Circular needle (80cm-150cm)
Notions: 40 stitch markers & 2 unique markers for either side of centre stitch. Cable Needle, similar in size to your chosen needle. Tapestry needle / crochet hook to weave in ends.
Gauge:
4” (10 cm) on 5 mm / US 8 needles (after blocking)
18 sts & 40 rows in Garter stitch, 20 sts & 28 rows in Stockinette stitch
Incorrect Gauge can affect finished measurements / yarn usage.
Finished measurements:
Width: 80” / 203cm Depth: 22” / 56cm
