Product Description
Numinous accurately describes how my journey of looking after my grandmother full-time has been. Fearful of the future as her dementia becomes worse, but in the utter fascination of who she is when bits and pieces of her true self come out. In awe of her stories and life, she’s lived, and overwhelmed when she has bad days.
Numinous is an asymmetrical triangular shawl, worked on the bias. The elongated garter and eyelet sections are quite easy to follow along with and would be appropriate for busier yarns that may be hanging out in your stash. The final lace section of the shawl adds a nice touch of feminine charm, which would also l look fun with a solid coordinating color if you’re using a variegated through the rest of the shawl.
Worked flat, Numinous contains written directions and charts. A handy-dandy progress tracker is included to help you with your rows and stitch counts. Yardage for each section is given should you wish to turn this into a scrappy project!
Numinous Shawl by rhyFlower Knits
What Is Being Made
The Numinous is a knitted shawl design created by independent designer rhyFlower Knits. This downloadable PDF pattern provides instructions for crafting a finished shawl using fingering weight yarn, making it an accessible project for knitters seeking to expand their shawl collection with a beginner-friendly design.
Craft and Technique Overview
This project uses the knitting craft, a fundamental fiber arts technique that creates fabric through interlocking loops of yarn using two needles. Knitting allows for versatile stitch patterns and shaping methods, making it ideal for garments like shawls that require both structural integrity and elegant drape.
Stitches Used
The Numinous shawl incorporates a variety of essential knitting stitches to create its pattern and structure:
- Knit (K): The fundamental stitch that forms the base of the fabric
- Purl (P): The reverse of the knit stitch, used to create texture and pattern variation
- Knit 2 Together (K2tog): A decrease stitch that reduces stitch count and creates shaping
- Make 1 Left (M1L): An increase stitch worked by lifting the horizontal strand between stitches and knitting through the back loop to add stitches
- Slip Stitches (S1 wyif, S1): Techniques for moving stitches from one needle to another with yarn positioned in front or back
- Slip 2 Together, Knit 1, Pass Slipped Stitches Over (S2tog-k1-p2sso): A decorative decrease that creates elegant stitch definition
Materials and Specifications
The Numinous shawl requires 782 yards (713 meters) of fingering weight yarn. The suggested yarn is Log House Cottage Eco Z Wash Sock, which is crafted from 100% organic wool, providing natural elasticity and warmth suitable for a wearable shawl.
Knitters will need US 6 (4 mm) circular needles measuring 40 inches (102 cm) in length, or the size required to obtain proper gauge. A tapestry needle is also required for finishing and weaving in yarn ends.
Skill Level
Rated as an Easy beginner-level project, the Numinous shawl is designed to be accessible to knitters new to shawl construction while still offering the satisfaction of completing a finished wearable garment.
