Virevolte: Espace Tricot // Shawl // Fall 2021

See this content in the original post

NOTES

GAUGE: 23 stitches & 34 rows = 4 inches; I had to go up three needle sizes to get a swatch near gauge, I erred the side of creating an oversized shawl.

CONSTRUCTION: This shawl is constructed from side-to-side. Due to the lace yarn and large needles, any mistakes are very noticeable.

RESOURCES

Final Thoughts

  • I only added fringe on one side of the shawl.

  • This is now my most worn shawl. It is cozy, very large, and warm. The neutral color goes with almost every outfit.

  • Next time:

    • I would omit the fringe - for variety sake.

    • I would consider knitting in lace weight Alpaca (update: yarn purchased for 2nd Virevolte shawl, Knit Picks, Alpaca Cloud, Jane, 2 skeins).
