Machine Knit Iris Shawl Pattern

Consisting of 6 different panels in three colors, this color blocked Iris Shawl is a beauty to wear! The traditional lace texture combined with the graphic combination of colored panels creates a stunning wrap that is traditional in reference but with a modern twist.

This pattern is designed to be made on a flat bed knitting machine, but since the largest panel is only 33 stitches wide it can also be made on an Addi or Sentro that has enough needles! All the patterns are hand transferred so no special tools or machine add ons are needed.

Knit Wingspan Shawl Pattern

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.

Machine Knit Wingspan Shawl Pattern

Recently I made the crochet Beyond the Sea Shawl and realized it had been a while since I did a knit shawl. Now, since the Estrela Lace machine knit shawl pattern is rectangle, I wanted to make one that was either triangular or crescent in shape.

Being machine knit, and working on an LK150 with a limited amount of needles posed a major constraint. To get the angles I wanted for the shape of the shawl using only 150 needles available on the mid gauge, the gauge would need to be so open that the stitches wouldn’t look right. Another hurdle was getting the rate of decrease to be easy to remember and work with, and not something that was really random and hard to remember as you were making the shawl.

Crochet Beyond the Sea Shawl Pattern

Several years ago I made the Estrela Lace Shawl for my sister’s wedding. It is a machine knit, lacy shawl that was perfect for her to wear over her wedding dress. Over the years I have been wanting a shawl for myself.

We are outdoors quite a bit in the summer, and like to be out by the water. Here in Michigan there are plenty of warm days, but cooler nights. I wanted something that I could easily layer, be multipurpose, and still feel like summer.

I came across this staggered shell pattern and fell in love. With the edging motif to give even more details, I believe it is perfect for out by the beach or over jeans with a tank top for a casual night out.
