Quixotic Shawl
Check out the colors in the knit kits HERE
Quixotic shawl
Then name Quixotic:
quixotic “kwɪksotik”
Possessing or acting with the desire to do noble and romantic deeds, without thought of realism and practicality; exceedingly idealistic. Impulsive, like Don Quixote; romantic to extravagance; absurdly chivalric; apt to be deluded.
A shawl in a bold look and European flare that is a bit of “Contemporary” meets “Romantique”. Starting out with a simple garter stitch section, moving into a satisfying stitch pattern with great rhythm and simplicity that is easily remembered. Beads all around the shawl lend a romantic feel as does the dramatic lace section that adds the final touch. No worries the lace is surprisingly easy to knit~
One interesting and not so obvious detail, the slightly curved middle section creates a collar.
Two video links included: Adding beads and How To Style your shawl. Take a look here: Video Link
The pattern is written and has a chart for the lace section. The blocked shawl measures 82” by 18”.
Yarn
You will need 4 colors and about 240 yards each.
The yarn is available in a cool linen/viscose is available at www.yarnz2GO.com.
I fell in love with the first shawl I made for Carla and her LYS Quixotic in Whitesboro, Texas and simply had to make another one in my own linen yarn for myself~
Notions:
US size 4 (3.5 mm) 29”/75 cm circular needle
NOTE: I am a loose knitter, you may not be and therefore need a larger needle.
500 size 6 beads
Crochet hook 0.75 mm (size 10) for adding beads
7 Stitch markers
Gauge: 18 sts and 24 rows in 4” of garter stitch.
The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted
