Product Description
When you find a gorgeous yarn in an intriguing color, you just know it deserves to become this very special, one-of-a-kind shawl.Subtle, yet sophisticated “Incentive” is the shawl for the thousand occasions of your life. Combine it with a pair of shabby chic jeans and still look like a million dollars, or top off an otherwise strict-looking business suit with a personalized touch.
With its asymmetric shape, one wing being double the length of the other, it will wrap snuggly around your shoulders and is sure to keep you cozily warm.
Two stitch patterns and shapes that go well with each other: simple garter stitch for the asymmetrically crescent shaped shawl body and a stitch over pattern in the uniformly wide edging. Both shapes and stitch patterns harmoniously complement each other and together create a whole composition that is varied, but not overloaded - a plus for everybody who loves to knit and show off in knitted accessories without appearing overly ornamental!
Sample is shown in Skein DK, colour Storm.
Incentive Shawl by Hanna Maciejewska
What is Being Made
Incentive is an asymmetric crescent-shaped shawl designed by Hanna Maciejewska in collaboration with Skein Yarn. This versatile accessory features one wing that is double the length of the other, creating a distinctive asymmetric silhouette. The shawl is designed to wrap snugly around the shoulders, providing warmth and style for countless occasions—from casual wear paired with shabby chic jeans to adding a personalized touch to formal business attire.
Design and Construction
The shawl combines two complementary stitch patterns and shapes that work harmoniously together. The overall composition is varied yet not overloaded, making it appealing to knitters who enjoy showcasing their work. The asymmetric crescent shape creates visual interest while the structured construction ensures the shawl drapes beautifully and functions as both a fashion statement and practical layering piece.
Stitches and Techniques Used
- Garter stitch forms the main body of the asymmetrically crescent-shaped shawl, providing a simple, textured foundation
- Stitch-over pattern creates the uniformly wide edging that frames the shawl
The combination of these two stitch patterns—the straightforward garter stitch contrasted with the more intricate stitch-over edging—creates visual balance and dimension without overwhelming the knitter or the finished piece.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
This pattern is designed for DK weight yarn, making it suitable for a range of gorgeous, intriguing colors that will showcase beautifully in both the garter stitch body and the decorative edging. The DK weight provides excellent drape while maintaining structure in the asymmetric shape.
Skill Level
Incentive is rated as an intermediate difficulty project, making it accessible to knitters with some experience while offering enough complexity to keep experienced crafters engaged.
