Tracy,

 

Check out the “Kanak crescent shaped shawl”.  I think I found it on Ralvery.  Here is the description from the pattern.  

 

Kanak is a crescent-shaped shawl featuring a textured lace stitch pattern. I used approximately 550 yards of KnitPicks Capretta and US size 5 needles to knit my sample, but any fingering-weight yarn with good stitch definition should work. The size of the shawl can be adjusted by working more or fewer repeats of the pattern. To get a drapier fabric, you could go up a needle size or two. Conversely, to get more well-defined, denser texture, you could go down a needle size, which will also increase the yarn requirement.

 

The pattern is a simple 12-row repeat with mostly knits and purls, and a few eyelets that appear only once every 6 rows.

 

Yarn:  600 yards of Knitpicks Capretta or any fingering weight yarn with good stitch definition

 

Needles:  US size 5 or 3.75mm needles (32″ circular needles or longer to accommodate the 500-plus stitches that you’ll finally end up with)

 

Notions:  Blocking pins

 

Finished dimensions:  

Wingspan – 70”

Depth at Centre – 13”

 

Gauge:  19 sts and 36 rows = 4 inches measured over textured pattern after blocking.  

Other than the yarn and needles you use, the way you block the shawl will also affect the gauge and finished dimensions of the shawl significantly. 

 

HTH,

Annette

I’m looking for a wrap, stole, or shawlette knitting pattern.  If anyone has one they like, please tell me about it.  I started looking on Ravelry, but there are so many choices it’s not easy. 

My favorite shape is the triangle or crescent.  

I want something not too complicated, not all yarn-overs and sk2p’s, but not too boring, either.

 

I bought some yarn on Knitpicks that was %60 off.  I couldn’t resist.  It’s viscose, recycled wool, nylon and a bit of cashmere.  It’s soft and should be nice and drapy.  I got around 800 yards, so it should be enough for what I’m looking for.

So if anyone has a recommendation, please let me know.

Tracy
