Product Description
Knit with fingering weight yarn, Arising features a garter stitch body embellished with rays of slipped stitches. The delicate brioche that follows is reminiscent of tiny buds, reaching up for the first warm days of Spring. A garter stitch border adorned with petite bobbles creates a tidy edge.
Color Combinations Arising can be knit in two colors as shown, or three colors. The body of the shawl uses an entire skein of fingering weight yarn (at least 400yds). The brioche section and bobble border use a good portion of two skeins (one of each color, both at least 400 yds). You should have enough brioche CC yarn leftover to make two tassels, if desired.
Arising Shawl by Samantha Guerin
What Is Being Made
Arising is a downloadable knitting pattern for a triangular shawl designed by Samantha Guerin. This intermediate-level shawl features a sophisticated two-color brioche lace construction with decorative bobbles, creating an elegant accessory with generous dimensions suitable for layering or wrapping.
Finished Dimensions
- Wingspan: 60 inches (155 centimeters)
- Depth at center: 22 inches (56 centimeters)
Techniques and Stitches Used
Arising employs several advanced knitting techniques that make it suitable for intermediate-level crafters with prior experience:
- Two-color brioche lace patterning: A sophisticated technique combining brioche knitting with lace elements using two contrasting yarn colors to create visual interest and texture
- Bobbles: Decorative textured stitches that add dimensional detail throughout the shawl body
- Slipped stitches: Strategic slipped stitches worked across the body of the shawl that create visual definition on the right side and require purling on wrong-side rows
- I-Cord bind off: A finished edge technique using an I-Cord to bind off stitches, creating a polished, durable perimeter
Materials and Yarn Specifications
Arising is designed for 4-ply fingering weight yarn. The pattern calls for two yarn colors:
- Main Color (MC): Cinnamon, requiring 2 skeins or 800 yards of fingering weight yarn
- Brioche Contrast Color (CC): Specified in the pattern (exact yardage to be confirmed in full pattern details)
The suggested yarn is Hue Loco 'Merino Sock' (80% superwash merino, 20% nylon, 400 yards per 100 grams), though any similar fingering weight yarn may be substituted.
Essential Tools and Notions
Successful completion of Arising requires careful stitch marker management. The pattern recommends using four stitch markers of the same type to mark the increase points positioned throughout the body of the shawl. Additionally, a fifth stitch marker of a visually different style is recommended to track the slipped stitches across the shawl body, helping crafters remember to purl these stitches on wrong-side rows where they may be less visually obvious.
