Hello, my delightful dewdrop! This week I want to share with you a beautiful knitted shawl pattern called Agave. We have two different versions for you that I hope you’ll love!

Agave is a right triangle. The right angle is the point found in the middle of the back as the shawl is worn. The two sides of that angle will be done in garter stitch. The long side, or the hypotenuse, is worked with an in i-cord.

When designing this shawl, Candy Key decided to use a stitch that she found in one of her mother’s old knitting books. When she used this stitch called the Woven Stitch, the shawl reminded her of butter! The Woven Stitch, done in a fingering weight yarn, will make a fabric that just flows through your hands.

Agave is worked in 3 sections: the first is stockinette, the second is stockinette with a twist – on the knit side you will knit in the back of the loop instead of the front loop, and the last and largest section is the woven stitch. The woven stitch looks exceptionally gorgeous with hand-dyed yarn, don’t you think?

Both samples shown used 705 yards of our CashSilk Sock yarn.
This yarn is incredibly soft and luxurious, and is perfect for wearing next to your skin. The yarn is a blend of 75% superwash merino wool, 15% cashmere, and 10% silk.
The solid version calls for skeins of Blue Agave, and the multicolored shawl uses our Forget Me Not Hues kit.

 

We have filmed a video tutorial for you showing you how to work a few rows in each section. Take a look:

 

This pattern contains written instructions and stitch count charts.

The pattern was designed by Candy Key and is sure to become a wardrobe staple. It would also make a lovely gift!

Instructions for the gradient version are given in the pattern so you get to choose if you prefer a solid or gradient shift.
