Knit Wingspan Shawl Pattern - City Farmhouse Studio

Are you a shawl person? I didn’t consider myself one, besides wearing one as a scarf or a neck piece in winter. However, this pattern has changed me!

I am now finding myself chilled, and instead of grabbing a blanket or layering on a sweater I just drape this around myself. It has enough warmth to make a difference, but is so light and easy to wear it doesn’t make me feel like I am wearing some heavy and bulky item that restricts my movements.

This shawl is made up of three panels. A center portion with equal decreases on each side to make it a triangular shape, and then two mirror imaged sides that are also triangular, but one side decreases at a drastic rate to form the point and long edge of the wrap.

All of the patterns are created off of two lace stitch patterns, pattern A and pattern B. While both patterns have yarn overs and decreases to form the lace patterns, pattern A also includes some purl stitches on the front side of the work to increase the textural and design elements along the bottom.

Once you learn the repeat of the patterns, which the charts below and the included Youtube tutorial walks you though each of them, it is like magic to see the shapes and patterns form from row to row. Once you’ve finished creating all that knitting magic, you’ll discover the true magic happens when you realize you reach for this shawl time and time again, wearing it much more than you thought you would.
