What is Being Made
The Candice Shawl is a downloadable knitting pattern designed by LisaFdesign that creates a finished shawl measuring approximately 220 cm (86.5 inches) in length. This is a beginner-friendly knitting project suitable for crafters new to shawl construction.
Knitting Techniques Used
The Candice Shawl employs fundamental knitting techniques that make it accessible to beginner-level knitters. The primary construction method involves alternating stripes of garter stitch and eyelet patterns, creating visual interest through textural variation. The pattern uses standard increases and decreases to shape the shawl as it grows from the cast-on edge. Yarn round needle (yarn over) techniques are incorporated to create the eyelet details that punctuate the striped design.
Stitches Used
- Garter Stitch (gtst): The foundation stitch created by knitting every row, forming horizontal ridges and providing structure and stability to the shawl
- Eyelet Stitches: Created using yarn round needle (yrn) techniques combined with decreases to form decorative holes that add elegance and visual texture
- Knit (K): Basic knit stitch used throughout the pattern
- Purl (P): Used in specific sections as indicated by the pattern instructions
- Knit Front and Back (Kfb): An increase technique for shaping
- Purl 2 Together (P2tog): A decrease method used in pattern construction
Materials and Specifications
The Candice Shawl is worked in DK weight yarn using 4 mm (US size 6) knitting needles. The pattern calls for Touch Yarns 8ply Merino in a color-blocked design: 7 balls of Oatmeal (main color), 1 ball of Mint (C1), 1 ball of Sage (C2), and 1 ball of Charcoal (C3). The merino fiber provides softness and drape ideal for shawl wear.
Tension and Gauge
The pattern is worked to a tension of 20 stitches and 40 rows over 10 cm (4 inches) in garter stitch on 4 mm needles. Achieving correct gauge is essential for obtaining the finished measurements of the completed shawl.
