Product Description
This shawl is made in a circle starting at the center and working out.
Before beginning this project, you should already be comfortable using double-pointed needles, working with lightweight yarn, and understanding yarnovers. You need just a bit of patience!
Pattern bonus: There is a check-off chart for each round to make it a breeze to keep track of where you are.
It makes a great take-along project—it’s easy, and, if you use a self-striping sock yarn, particularly fun to see grow.
Mix and match your yarn colors. Wear it open, or folded in half.
Ruffled Shawl by Cynthia Spencer
What Is Being Made
The Ruffled Shawl S-003 is a round knitted shawl designed by Cynthia Spencer. This versatile accessory can be worn open or folded in half, making it adaptable for various styling preferences. The shawl is sized to fit any wearer, with the option to adjust dimensions by varying yarn quantity.
Craft and Primary Technique
This project is created using the knitting craft. The shawl is constructed as a circular piece, built outward from the center through a series of strategically placed increases. The design emphasizes ease of construction despite the time investment required to complete the project.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques
The pattern utilizes yarnover rounds to create the signature ruffled effect and shaping of the shawl. Increases are worked at specific intervals throughout the pattern to expand the circular fabric. The pattern includes a dedicated chart that tracks increases, helping knitters maintain their place and follow the progression of the design without losing track of their position in the pattern.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
This project is worked in 4-ply yarn weight, which provides a delicate drape suitable for a shawl. Knitters can adjust the final size of the finished shawl by purchasing more or less yarn according to their desired dimensions. The pattern is compatible with standard knitting needles appropriate for 4-ply yarn.
Difficulty Level
The Ruffled Shawl is rated as an intermediate difficulty project. While the construction method is described as easy to execute, the time commitment and attention required to follow the increase chart and yarnover rounds make it suitable for knitters with some prior experience.
