We are glad to introduce this beautiful shawl pattern, an original pattern by Louise Robert

This design was imagined by Christine Homonylo as part of the KID SILK CONTEST that took place on Louise's blog in the spring of 2022. Christine submitted a project based on the Nebra Sky Disc : a 4,000 year old wooden circle representing the oldest starmap.

"I chose to use KID SILK to illustrate the colors of the sky and opted for the silky, shimmery CASHSILK LACE from Biscotte Yarns to represent the stars. The contrast of textures and colors of these two yarns is perfect to evoke the fascinating composition of this ancestral sky disc." - Louise

THIS KIT IS AVAILABLE IN 4 COLORS OPTIONS AND YOU WILL GET THE PATTERN AND THE YARNS DESCRIBED IN EACH KIT:

The original knitted demo KIT #1 has been knitted with the following colors:

The other knitted demo KIT #2 shown on the picture is using these colors:

  • 2 skeins of Kid Silk Courtisane (A)
  • 1 skein of Kid Silk Art Deco (B)
  • 1 skein of Cashsilk Bisque (C)

IN ADDITION TO THE KIT, YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING MATERIAL TO KNIT THIS SHAWL:

NEEDLES AND NOTIONS:

GAUGE

18 sts = 10 cm after blocking in stockinette stitch with the KID SILK. Obtaining the exact gauge is not important to knit this shawl. However, knitting with a tension different from the suggested gauge may require more yarn than the quantities listed above.

NOTES - This shawl is worked in a crescent shape by increasing 2 sts on every right side rows and 4 sts on every wrong side rows to the end.

In addition to the written instructions, the stitch pattern for the mosaic design in SECTION 3 and the final border in SECTION 5 are also available as a grid form at the end of the document.

Fil trop fin

Le fil est trop fin pour le motif 3 j’ai réduit le nombre de rangs à 6 plutôt qu’à 12, et j’ai répété le mitif 2 fois pour un total de 7.
