BLAUBEEREN Shawl (English)

This pattern is in English.

Inspired by a moody late summer the shawl BLAUBEEREN (German: Blueberries) is a light, tender and fascinating accessory. No matter if on a chilly summer night, sitting in a shade on a sunny summer day or for any other season of the year this shawl will become a wonderful companion. The combination of a fine lace and garter stitch brings a lot of fun to the knitting process and creates an exciting result.

The shawl is knitted flat beginning from one corner to the opposite side. The inclined triangular shape is created by increasing and decreasing the stitches. Slipped edge stitches give the shawl a nice slick finish.

This design has an intermediate skill level and it is suitable for knitters with some knitting experience or for knitting beginners looking for a special challenge.

The pattern contains a step by step description, a schematic and knitting tutorials (photos and text).
