Rødsildre Shawl Pattern by rhyFlower Knits

What Is Being Made

Rødsildre is an asymmetric triangular shawl designed as a one-skein wonder project. This versatile accessory piece is ideal for knitters looking to use up single skeins of yarn from their stash. The shawl works beautifully with solids, semi-solids, speckles, and variegated yarns, making it adaptable to a wide variety of yarn colors and patterns. Due to its quick knit time and elegant design, Rødsildre is an excellent choice for last-minute gift giving.

Craft and Techniques

This pattern is a knitting project suitable for beginner-level knitters. The shawl is worked on a circular needle, which allows for easy stitch management and comfortable knitting of the triangular construction. The asymmetric design creates visual interest while remaining accessible to newer knitters who are developing their foundational skills.

Materials and Tools

• Yarn Weight: 4-ply fingering weight yarn, requiring approximately 420 yards (384 meters)
• Needle: US 7 (4.5 mm) circular needle measuring 40 inches (102 cm), or the size needed to achieve proper gauge
• Additional Tools: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and optionally a progress keeper or locking stitch marker to track your place in the pattern

Suggested Yarn

The pattern recommends ArcticCrafts Merino Strong Fine, a fingering weight yarn composed of 85% Merino wool and 15% Nylon. This yarn provides 437 yards (400 meters) per 3.5 ounces (100 grams), with the colorway Blueberry Smoothie featured in the pattern photography. The nylon content adds durability to the soft merino base, making it well-suited for a garment that will receive regular wear.
