Shadow Lines Knit Shawl by Susanne Sommer
What is Being Made
Shadow Lines is a graphic rectangular wrap shawl designed by Susanne Sommer. This lightweight summer accessory measures 218 cm (86 inches) in length and 58 cm (23 inches) in width, making it an elegant layering piece that transitions beautifully between seasons. The finished shawl combines functionality with visual interest through its distinctive stripey pattern construction.
Construction Method and Techniques
This shawl is knit from the center triangle outward, a construction technique that creates the geometric stripey patterns characteristic of the design. The center-out approach allows for controlled increases and the development of the two-color striped effects throughout the piece. The shawl employs multiple stitch techniques to achieve its visual and textural complexity.
Stitches Used
Shadow Lines incorporates two primary stitch patterns:
- Garter stitch – worked at a gauge of 17 stitches over 34 rows to measure 10 cm (4 inches) after blocking
- Brioche rib stitch – worked at a gauge of 17 stitches over 17 rows to measure 10 cm (4 inches) after blocking
The combination of these stitches creates visual contrast and varied drape within the rectangular wrap. Gauge is measured after blocking and directly influences both the final size and yardage requirements of the completed shawl.
Materials and Specifications
Yarn: The pattern calls for 2 colors of lace-weight yarn, with a total yardage of 1309 meters (1432 yards) requiring 4 skeins. The shawl is shown in MYak Baby Yak Lace, a yarn composed of 100% yak fiber. Color A (Tibetan Sky, a blue-gray colorway) requires 609 meters (666 yards) across 2 skeins. Color B (Oatmeal, a natural colorway) requires 700 meters (766 yards across 2 skeins. Each skein of MYak Baby Yak Lace yields 350 meters (380 yards) per 50 grams.
Needles: US 6 (4.0 mm) circular needles are recommended to obtain proper gauge and optimal drape, with a larger needle reserved for the bind-off edge.
Notions: Additional materials include a tapestry needle for finishing, 4 stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats, and waste yarn or a spare cable for holding stitches during construction.
Skill Level
Shadow Lines is rated as an intermediate-difficulty knitting project, suitable for knitters with foundational skills who are ready to work with lace-weight yarn and manage multiple color changes and stitch pattern transitions.
