Sommelier is an airy crescent shaped shawl with deliciously simple elements. It’s knitted with sport weight yarn in easy-to-memorise patterns. Combining garter stitch, eyelets and mesh lace, this modern shawl is relaxing to knit and looks beautiful wrapped around your neck.

Beginning from the neck with a garter tab cast on, Sommelier is worked with increases on both edges for a deep crescent shape. Eyelets created by yarn overs on all sides of the shawl make blocking a breeze, as the blocking wires are simple and quick to insert along the eyelet holes.

Oodles of yarn overs bring airiness to the shawl and ensure that even a modest amount of yarn can go a long way. For those lonely single skeins and other small yarn amounts in your stash, Sommelier is the perfect choice.

The pattern is written for sport-weight yarn and a specific yarn amount, but you can easily make it yours by working it with any yarn weight from lace to worsted. The pattern also includes instructions on how to modify the size for different yarn amounts.

YARN
2 balls of De Rerum Natura Ulysse (100% merino; 185 m / 202 yds per 50 g). Shown in colour Caramel.

Or approximately 315 m / 344 yds of similar sport weight yarn.

NEEDLES
Size 4.5 mm / US 7 needles or size to obtain pattern gauge

This shawl is worked flat, but I recommend using 80 – 100 cm / 32 – 40 inch circular needles to accommodate the growing number of stitches.
