Cyclamen Knitted Shawl by The Feminine Touch Designs
Project Overview
Cyclamen is an intermediate-level knitted shawl designed by The Feminine Touch Designs. This cosy wrap demonstrates how lace stitch patterns can create stunning visual effects when worked in chunky yarn. The finished shawl measures 29 inches (74 centimeters) wide by 68 inches (172 centimeters) long, making it a generous wrap suitable for layering or draping.
Design and Stitch Techniques
The Cyclamen shawl features a pinwheel lace pattern as its primary design element, paired with simple moss stitch edges for a refined finish. The combination of these two stitch techniques creates an attractive, textured fabric that balances openwork lace with solid edging. The pinwheel lace pattern repeat measures 12 centimeters wide by 21 centimeters high, establishing a clear, manageable repeat for knitters.
The lace stitch work includes cable techniques, specifically the C2F (cable 2 front) abbreviation, which involves slipping one stitch to a cable needle, holding it at the front of the work, knitting one stitch, then knitting one stitch from the cable needle. This technique adds dimension and visual interest to the lace sections. Standard knitting abbreviations used throughout the pattern include K (knit), P (purl), and K2tog (knit 2 together).
Yarn and Materials
This pattern calls for West Yorkshire Spinners Re:treat yarn in the colorway Escape (562). The yarn is a chunky roving weight composed of 100% Bluefaced Kerry Hill wool, providing warmth and softness. Six 100-gram balls are required, with each ball yielding 140 meters (153 yards) of yarn, for a total yardage of approximately 840 meters.
Knitters will need a pair of 6.5mm (UK size 3 / US size 10.5) knitting needles and 2 stitch markers to complete this project. The gauge is 14 stitches and 19 rows to 10 centimeters over stockinette stitch using 6.5mm needles.
