AJour shawl~
Definition of a jour: pierced, cut away, or made translucent in such a way as to form a design.
This pattern literally gives you three projects to create. There are two shawl versions. You can knit a smaller shawl and a scarf or the bigger shawl as featured in most of the photos and all from just the one pattern and/or one knit kit. Isn't that fabulous? I marked the smaller shawl version and the scarf, so you can see all your choices.
Starting out, first you knit a lovely crescent shape with increases that are very relaxing to create and easily memorized. You then adorn it with a beautiful bottom lace border. The final touch is a knitted separate skinny scarf that gets added very cleverly to the shawl with little ribbons. You'll love the creativity involved~
The knit kits include:
- 2 Yarnology skeins in with colors that compliment each other, the colors range from elegant, subdued to colors that really POP. Each skein holds 238 yards in 7 varying color, texture and even weights, all hand wound and unique, with very little weaving ends in. Sounds good, right?
- 1 Organic cotton skein in a DK weight holding 125 yards.
- The extra yarn you connect the scarf part with, not featured but it will match your color combination perfectly.
- The fully written and charted pattern, both printed and emailed.
- All comes in a convenient project bag. Love that, all in its proper place....
Notions used:
- Us size 6 (4 mm) circular needle 36" (91 cm) in length.
- 11 Stitch markers, lockable preferably mostly used for finishing your shawl.
- Darning needle or crochet hook for finishing.
Gauge: 8 sts and 10 rows in 2" of Stockinette stitch.
Techniques used: Knitting, purling, increasing, color changes, binding off, weaving in ends, blocking and attaching the scarf to the shawl with ribbons that get knotted.
Enjoy this one of a kind project, whether you knit the smaller shawl, the scarf or the final version as seen in most of the photos~
