Eagles are bold, beautiful and majestic and this is echoed in the shawl. Beginning at the right wing this piece is worked without seaming using join-as-you-go and very simple short row techniques. Garter stitch and stockinette stitch are combined to balance and add texture..

This pattern is test knitted

Material:

  • Approx 500 yards in Col1 and 250 yards Col2, fingering weight yarns (Yarn used in the picture Kauni Effektgarn, black solid as Col1 and EME as Col2)
  • Size US 2, 32” circular needle, size US 1, 24” circular needle or needle size which creates desired fabric

To create a bigger shawl use a dk or worsted weight yarn. (Yardage will change)

Gauge: Gauge is not important (you have to like the density of the fabric you create)
