Calla Lily Knit Shawl by Justyna Lorkowska
What Is Being Made
The Calla Lily is a downloadable knitting pattern for a triangular shawl designed by Justyna Lorkowska. Named after the majestic calla lily flower, this shawl design represents beauty, innocence, and purity of form. The finished shawl measures 70 inches (188 cm) in wingspan with a depth of 29 inches (78.5 cm) at the center, making it a generous wrap suitable for draping across the shoulders or wearing as a statement accessory.
Techniques Used
This beginner-level shawl pattern employs fundamental knitting techniques accessible to newer crafters. The primary construction method uses garter stitch, a classic textured stitch created by knitting every row, which provides a reversible fabric with horizontal ridges. The pattern features a triumphant border that frames the shawl, adding visual interest and symbolizing victory and new life. The design progresses from a cast-on edge, building outward to create the triangular silhouette characteristic of traditional shawl construction.
Stitches Used
- Garter stitch – the foundational stitch throughout the main body, created by knitting every row on both right-side and wrong-side rows
- Purl stitches – used as indicated in the pattern instructions
- Decreases – shaping techniques employed to create the triangular shawl form
- Cast-on and bind-off – edge techniques for beginning and finishing the garment
Materials and Tools
The Calla Lily pattern calls for aran weight yarn, with the designer's recommendation being TOV by Woolfolk, a premium yarn composed of 100% Ovis 21 Extra Fine Merino Wool. The pattern requires either 5 skeins of the specified yarn (providing 865 yards total) or an equivalent yardage in aran weight yarn from any source. Knitting needles include one 40-inch circular needle in US size 8 (5 mm) for the main fabric and one spare needle in US size 10 (6 mm) for gauge adjustment as needed. Additional notions include 4 stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats, a tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends, and blocking supplies to achieve the specified gauge of 15 stitches and 25 rows equaling 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch after blocking.
