Product Description
The Sensualidad Shawl is the second pattern of the new Flamenco collection. The three patterns are connected by color and by style: they all express strong feelings, operate with spectacular solutions. They are pieces in your wardrobe that want to play the main role in your outfit, feminine and provocative.
Complementario shawl plays with complement colors and has unique shape.
Abanico is sexy and cosy in the same time. The garter section makes this project a fast knit, and the complicated lace shows itself better next to a relaxed background.
Sensualidad is not for the faint hearted. It takes courage to knit this shawl and to wear it too: it will draw attention. So this is the superb choice if you want challenge and love to show of your exquisite handiwork.
Sample is shown in Alize Bamboo fine. A suggested substitute is shown below.

Sensualidad Shawl by Zsuzsa Kiss
What is Being Made
The Sensualidad Shawl is an advanced-level triangular shawl design available in two finished sizes: 23 ½" x 49 ¼" [60 x 125 cm] or 33 ½" x 67" [84 x 170 cm]. This downloadable knitting pattern from independent designer Zsuzsa Kiss creates an elegant, flowing accessory suitable for experienced knitters seeking a sophisticated project.
Yarn and Materials
The pattern features Alize Bamboo fine yarn in colorway 56, requiring 960 yards [880 m] total. This yarn is a 100% bamboo fiber with yardage of 481 yards [440 m] per 100 g skein, classified as a 3-ply to lace weight yarn. The pattern recommends fingering, light fingering, or lace weight yarns with high wool content for best results. Designers note that silk or bamboo yarns are recommended only for experienced knitters familiar with working with slippery fibers. Knitters will need a US 6 [4 mm] circular needle measuring 47" [120 cm] in length, along with a tapestry needle and stitch markers for completing the project.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
The Sensualidad Shawl employs advanced knitting techniques appropriate for experienced crafters. The pattern utilizes chart-based construction, requiring knitters to follow detailed stitch diagrams for accurate pattern placement. Key stitches and techniques include:
- Yarn overs (yo) for creating decorative lace elements and shaping
- Knit decreases including knit 2 together (k2tog), knit 3 stitches together (k3tog), and slip-slip-knit (ssk) for structured shaping
- Slip-knit-pass over (sl1, k2tog, psso) for double decreases that create refined stitch definition
- Stockinette stitch combined with lace patterning
- Stitch marker placement to track pattern repeats and shaping sections
The pattern is worked from a chart (Chart A) with a gauge of 14 stitches by 21 rows equaling 4 x 4" [10 x 10 cm] in the pattern shown. Knitters must maintain consistent tension throughout to achieve proper drape and finished dimensions, particularly important when working with slippery bamboo or silk fibers.
Pattern Format
This is a downloadable PDF pattern suitable for digital reference during knitting. The pattern includes schematic diagrams showing both size options, complete abbreviation guides, and detailed construction instructions for experienced knitters.
