Deco Dream Shawl Pattern

Knit the shawl of your dreams with this art deco-inspired modular design.

Choose four colours of fingering-weight yarn and a contrast colour of lace-weight mohair silk. Knit with a radiating gradient to add a smooth flow throughout the modular striped sections. The project begins with the centre art deco motif as you work garter stitch short row wedges framed with I-cord edges. The striped wings are created in garter stitch while being knitted together with the centre section for a seamless construction. Contrasting mohair short rows with a simple eyelet mesh stitch elongate the wingspan edge to make the shawl soar. Once the wings are mirrored, the beautiful border begins with an option to knit brioche or a simple knit ’n slide non-brioche texture followed by eyelet stripes. A final short row scalloped motif frames the border and echoes the solid colour blocks from the striking centre piece. The final shape is a smooth geometric art deco collage with mohair wings that float around your shoulders.

Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn and yarn dyed in batches, there may be some variation in colour between skeins. We take great care in photographing our yarns accurately, but some colours may vary slightly from the picture.
