Explore and learn by knitting this stunning and inventive Shawlography shawl, which was Stephen West of Westknits' annual Mystery Shawl Knit Along in 2021. Full of interesting techniques, the shawl is a fun and captivating knit, and the best thing is...you'll end up with an absolutely show-stopping shawl. Stephen's video tutorials for this shawl can be found here on Youtube so you can knit along with Stephen, learning the techniques needed to craft your shawl as you watch.
Stephen says: "It’s important to have contrast amongst your colours in order to see the details and crisp lines in the fabric. Solid, semi-solid, and lightly speckled fingering weight yarns are all great options for this year’s shawl. Try to avoid using very busy variegated and highly speckled yarns for all of the colors. It’s okay to have some painterly splashes for some of your colours, but I recommend crisp clean contrast for this year’s shawl."
Starting out with an amazing spoked semicircle constructed from short row wedges, the shawl is knitted using various bands of colour & texture. About half way, garter stripe wings are added to elongate the shape and the final section of diagonal stripes finishes this large shawl off beautifully. Techniques used include: short rows, bobbles, i-cord loops, slip stitches, brioche, welts, and much more.
Knit this shawl and you will be in awe of Stephen West's talent as a knitwear designer working with unusual & captivating combos of colour, texture & technique.
Yarn required: 5 colours of fingering weight yarn (100g or at least 347m of each colour)
