Hello, my amazing friend! Our knitting pattern for you this week is our Melting Transitions Shawl!
Melting Transitions is an Advanced Beginner pattern and is designed for those knitters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations.
I designed this stunning wrap to remind me of the beautiful spring you experience after cold, dark Alaskan winters. Winters in Alaska can be brutal. Extremely dark and cold and often very isolated and lonely. But when you make it through and the lakes begin to break up, the snow starts to melt, the sun gets higher and higher in the sky each day… Ahhhh. It’s a time of transition and hope and excitement for the spring and summer ahead!
I hope that while you’re making it you feel hopeful, joyful and know good things are ahead.
This lovely shawl is made with our Alpaca Silk DK in our Melting Hues kit for a warm and incredibly soft shawl that can be enjoyed for years to come!
We have filmed a video tutorial for you showing you how to work up through row 9 on this pattern. Have a look:
Made in simple seed stitch wedges, this is an easily adjustable pattern!
The sample shown used approximately 850 yards total of Dk weight yarn but you can easily adjust the yarn weight and needle size if you prefer.
I hope knitting you love knitting this shawl as much as I loved designing it for you! Have fun choosing your colors, based on whatever is inspiring you at the moment. Perhaps a sunset? Or a swan on a lake. Maybe a cute coffee shop or a furry friend. Anything can be inspiration for a color palette!

Do you have a video that shows how to “pick up the wrapped stitch” as per apttern?
Oh not yet, but good idea! In the meantime you can look up wrap and turn videos (short rows) and there are lots of tutorials on youtube. 🙂 I hope this helps!
Hola Chandi. Quería preguntarte si es posible comprar algunos de tus chales ya tejidos es decir, la prenda ya he hecha como tal porque de ser posible para mí sería genial ya que no se me da bien tejer con dos agujas. Gracias por tu tiempo y por el gran trabajo que haces. Un abrazo. Magaly ❣️
Thank you so much for the offer. We don’t sell our items, but you might be able to write on our FaceBook page here: https://www.facebook.com/expressionfiberarts/ and someone might be willing to do that for you. 💕
Hi, do you still have yarn for this pattern? And do you have different combinations of colors to suggest?
Hi Ginette, thank you for your message. I’m happy to help.
yes, we do still offer the Alpaca Silk DK base (https://www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/dk/alpaca-silk-dk.html) but we currently don’t have that particular color-way (Melting Hues) available. Any of the 5 skein kits would work for this pattern, however.
Have a wonderful day! – Johanna 💙
