Aurora Blue captures all the gorgeous variations of vibrant blue found in the semi-double flowers of this type of delphinium. This design is knit sideways on the bias, making a shallow and asymmetrical triangle, perfect for wearing as an elegant scarf. The combination of garter stitch in a variegated hand-dyed yarn and simple lace makes it a perfect choice to get the best of both worlds.
The pattern contains both fully written out as well as charted instructions for the lace section.
Difficulty level: Stitches used in this pattern include knit, purl, yo, kfb, skp, k2tog, and a centered double decrease. This pattern is therefor suitable for the intermediate knitter.
Sizes and finished measurements: Finished dimensions of the sample shawl: 174 cm (68 ½ inches) along the upper edge and a depth of 70 cm (27 ½ inches), measured after blocking.
Make the Aurora Blue shawl larger by adding more repeats of the garter stitch and/or by working more repeats in the lace section. As a result, this will, of course, increase the amount of yarn needed.
