Product Description
A two-layerd shawl based on the fairy tale "Snowwhite and Rosered". Just like in the fairy tail both sisters are always together, the two layers of the shawl are connected at the top.
The layering adds additional warmth to a lace-shawl and with a natural backing colour it doesn't matter what you wear one can always see the lace pattern.
There is no seaming involved and next to no binding off stitches.
The pattern includes both written and charted instructions and can be worked at a variety of gauges to achieve desired size.
Size: 94cm x 54cm (37'' x 21'') The size is completely adjustable and the shawl can be knitted to any size you want.
Needles: 3mm (US 2 1/2)
Yarn: 420m (460 yards) in MC and 580m (635 yards) in CC shown in ColourMart Cashmere/Merino 2/28NM Lace Weight. If you want to "knit till the yarn runs out" you'll need app. 30% more CC then MC.
Difficulty: The lace is fairly easy and the shawl is seamless
SnowWhite and RoseRed Knitted Shawl by Atalante
Project Overview
SnowWhite and RoseRed is an advanced knitting pattern for a two-layered lace shawl inspired by the classic fairy tale. Designed by Atalante, this downloadable PDF pattern creates a sophisticated accessory that combines both aesthetic beauty and practical warmth through its innovative layered construction.
What Is Being Made
This pattern produces a two-layered shawl where both layers are connected at the top, mirroring the bond between the two sisters in the fairy tale. The finished shawl measures 94cm x 54cm (37 inches x 21 inches). The dual-layer design serves both functional and visual purposes: the layering adds additional warmth to what would otherwise be a traditional lace shawl, while the natural backing color of the second layer allows the lace pattern to remain visible and prominent without requiring seaming or extensive finishing work.
Knitting Techniques and Construction
This advanced knitting project employs lace techniques to create an intricate, openwork pattern. The pattern features minimal finishing requirements, with no seaming involved and next to no binding off stitches, making the construction process streamlined despite the advanced difficulty level. The two-layer structure is engineered so that both layers work together from the cast-on at the top, creating an integrated garment rather than separate pieces joined together.
Stitches Used
The pattern incorporates lace stitches as the primary stitch pattern. The gauge is measured in stockinette stitch at 33 stitches x 50 rows per 10cm (4-inch) square, which establishes the tension baseline for the project, though the finished shawl features lace patterning throughout.
Materials Required
- Needles: US 2 1/2 (3mm) needles

Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as advanced, making it suitable for experienced knitters who are comfortable working with lace techniques and managing multiple yarn colors simultaneously in a complex construction.
