Ochtend Mist Knitted Shawl by Susanne Visch
What is Being Made
Ochtend Mist is a semi-circular Pi shawl designed by Susanne Visch. This downloadable knitting pattern offers two size options: a smaller shawlette or a larger wrap version. The shawl is worked as a single piece from the top-down, making it an elegant accessory suitable for various occasions and preferences.
Construction and Techniques
This intermediate-level knitting project begins with a garter stitch tab at the top, which serves as the foundation for the shawl. The shawl is constructed using a top-down approach, with increases worked only on designated increase rows to create the characteristic semi-circular shape of a Pi shawl. After the stockinette body is completed, a striking lace pattern edging is added to finish the piece. The lace pattern is charted and fully written out for knitter convenience, with patterning on both right-side and wrong-side rows for visual interest throughout.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The pattern features several key stitch techniques:
- Garter stitch for the initial tab foundation
- Stockinette stitch for the body of the shawl
- Lace stitch patterns worked on both right and wrong side rows for the decorative edging
- Two-stitch garter stitch edging to frame and stabilize the lace border
Yarn and Materials
Ochtend Mist is designed to be worked with two yarns held together throughout the entire project. The pattern calls for Crelando Anika yarn, which is composed of 75% wool and 25% nylon. The yarn specifications are 418 meters (458 yards) in 100 grams for the small size, or 732 meters (802 yards) in 175 grams for the larger size. The fingering weight yarn is paired with a lofty kid mohair silk lace yarn, creating a luxurious and lightweight fabric with beautiful drape. This combination of holding two yarns together produces a unique texture that balances structure with softness.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with some experience who are comfortable reading both written instructions and stitch charts, managing two yarns held together, and working lace patterns with yarn overs and decreases.
