Rainy Knit Shawl by Sandrine Audelin
What Is Being Made
Rainy is a knitted shawl designed by Sandrine Audelin, an independent designer. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a finished shawl measuring 72 cm by 176 cm in a single size. The design draws inspiration from waterspouts and the atmospheric conditions of Normandy, translating rain and fog into an accessible knitting construction.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
The Rainy shawl employs straightforward knitting techniques suitable for crafters seeking an easy knitting point that captures the essence of rainfall. The pattern utilizes fundamental stitches including:
- Knit stitch (maille endroit) – the basic foundation stitch
- Purl stitch (maille envers) – used in combination with knit stitches
- Knit 2 together (k2tog) – a decrease technique for shaping
- Increases (inc'd) – used to expand the shawl dimensions
- Central stitch (K1/P1 central stitch) – a marker stitch that anchors the design
The pattern employs a marker to track progress and uses cast-on techniques to begin the shawl construction. These techniques combine to create a design that translates weather-inspired textures into knit fabric.
Yarn and Materials
The Rainy shawl is worked in sport weight yarn (5 ply), a lightweight option ideal for creating flowing, drape-friendly shawl fabric. The pattern is shown in Quince&Co Chickadee, a 100% American wool yarn offered in two colorways:
- Color A – Iceland 153: 5 skeins required (231 grams / 767 meters total)
- Color B – Kumlien's Gull 152: 1 skein required (11 grams / 37 meters total)
The shawl is constructed using a US 6 (4mm) circular needle, which accommodates the width of the finished piece. Additional notions include one stitch marker and a tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends.
Pattern Format
This is a downloadable PDF pattern, making it immediately accessible for digital reference during knitting. The pattern includes abbreviations and instructions in both English and French, reflecting the designer's Francophone background.
