Hello, my cherished friend! I want to share with you a beautiful knitted shawl pattern called Slipdream. This beautiful shawl was designed by Monica Wesley, and it uses our new Amal Fingering base.

Read on to learn more!

Monica says, “Slip into the rhythmic fluidity of Slipdream — a symmetrical, triangular, multicolored shawl that includes three repeating stitch patterns and uses Expression Fiber Arts’ Amal Fingering yarn. Slipdream is knitted flat in one piece and is composed of alternating sections of slipped garter stitch, slipped honeycomb stripes, and a two-color mosaic design. While the shawl design might look complicated, all of its sections are made using basic knit and purl stitches that are combined with slipped stitches, which makes knitting the Slipdream a veritable breeze.”

“You will need three different colors of yarn for this pattern. The slipped garter stitch will always be knitted with a single color, while the slipped honeycomb stripes will always use all three colors. The mosaic design uses two colors. To knit Slipdream, you’ll begin with a garter tab cast on, and you’ll increase the shawl’s size by adding two stitches at both the beginning and end of each right-side row, as well as one stitch on each side of the triangle’s central axis. Therefore, every right-side row adds six stitches to your overall stitch count. This creates a longer, thinner triangle shawl.”
The sample shown used our Amal Fingering yarn in colors: Abundance (C1), Enlighten (C2), and Zenith (C3). This yarn is a blend of 60% Baby Alpaca, 20% Linen, and 20% Mulberry Silk. It is dyed in stunning, heathered tones, and it is a draping, luxurious fingering weight yarn.

Approximately 300 to 390 yards of each color, a total of 1,052 yards, were used in the sample.

These estimates include the yardage required to make the shawl with the optional tassels. If you choose to make the tassels, you’ll need almost the entire skein of C3, so gauge is very important in this pattern. 

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

This Intermediate level pattern contains both written and charted instructions. The pattern also includes directions for making tassels, which are optional.
