Cascade Range Shawl by Shannon Squire
What Is Being Made
The Cascade Range Shawl is a triangular knit shawl designed by Shannon Squire. This versatile accessory is available in two yarn weight options, allowing crafters to choose between a delicate fingering-weight version or a quicker-to-complete aran or bulky-weight version. The shawl is sized to fit most wearers, with adjustable dimensions noted in the pattern for customization.
Yarn and Materials
The Cascade Range Shawl offers flexibility in yarn selection across two distinct versions:
- Fingering-weight version: Approximately 720 yards of fingering-weight yarn split between three colors
- Aran or bulky-weight version: Approximately 345 yards of aran or bulky-weight yarn split between three colors
Complete yardage breakdown and specific yarn recommendations are provided on Page 3 of the pattern. Additional notions required include stitch markers and a tapestry needle for finishing.
Needles and Gauge
Needle requirements vary based on the yarn weight chosen. The fingering-weight version uses a US4/3.5mm circular needle measuring 24 inches or longer, with a gauge of 24 stitches equaling 4 inches in stockinette stitch when measured after blocking. The aran or bulky-weight version uses a US11/8mm circular needle, also 24 inches or longer, with a gauge of 12 stitches equaling 4 inches in stockinette stitch after blocking. Knitters should adjust needle size as needed to achieve the specified gauge for their chosen yarn weight.
Techniques and Stitches
The Cascade Range Shawl is constructed using stockinette stitch as the primary stitch pattern. The shawl is worked on a circular needle, a common method for creating triangular shawls that grow from a small cast-on edge to a wider finished dimension. Blocking is essential to the finishing process, as gauge measurements are taken after blocking to ensure proper drape and final measurements.
