Celebrating One Year of The Golden Skein
One year ago, The Golden Skein team started us on a magical journey to rival the tastes of the most refined yarn connoisseur. They brought us outstanding colours and luxurious bases from all corners of the globe.
To celebrate the end of a momentous first year, The Golden Skein has paired up designer Clare Devine with one of their amazing dyers, Eden Cottage Yarns. Their aim has been to bring you the perfect single skein project, designed to liberate that Golden Skein waiting in your stash.
Kunye Shawl by Clare Devine
What Is Being Made
Kunye is an advanced knitted shawl designed by Clare Devine in partnership with The Golden Skein. The name Kunye comes from Zulu, meaning "one." This is a downloadable PDF knitting pattern suitable for experienced knitters seeking a sophisticated shawl project.
Design and Construction
The Kunye shawl features a thoughtfully engineered construction that allows knitters to customize the finished size. The pattern includes detailed guidance on adjusting dimensions to make the most of specific yarn quantities, making it an adaptable design for various yarn weights and yardage amounts. This flexibility is particularly valuable for knitters working with hand-dyed or limited-quantity yarns from specialty suppliers like The Golden Skein.
Knitting Techniques
As an advanced-level pattern, Kunye incorporates sophisticated knitting techniques appropriate for experienced crafters. The pattern employs both written instructions and charted sections, allowing knitters to work from either format based on personal preference. Chart notes are provided to clarify any special instructions or pattern symbols used throughout the design.
Stitches and Pattern Elements
The pattern includes comprehensive abbreviations and stitch definitions to support knitters working through the various techniques. A schematic is provided to illustrate the shawl's finished dimensions and construction details, helping knitters understand the garment's shape and proportions before beginning.
Materials Required
Knitters will need yarn appropriate to the selected size and gauge specified in the pattern, along with knitting needles (referred to as "Pointy Sticks" in the designer's playful terminology) sized to achieve the required gauge. The pattern provides specific gauge information and sizing options to guide material selection.
Pattern Format
This downloadable PDF pattern includes multiple pages of detailed instructions, schematic diagrams, charts, and reference materials. The comprehensive format supports knitters from cast-on through bind-off, with extra information pages dedicated to size customization and construction notes.
