Hello, my cherished fiber friend! I want to share with you a relaxing, knitted shawl called Turbulence. Read on to learn more about this beauty!
Turbulence was designed by Jane Vanselous. When asked about this shawl, she said, “This shawl design brings back memories of an evening, summer storm at the beach. The way the broody sky shifts its colors among deep blues, greens, and grays, and the sight of choppy waves that kick up in the ocean, as the wind and rains begin. There is something oddly comforting in those short, summer storms. A welcome break from the intense sun and heat of the day and a reminder of the powerful beauty of nature.”
“The body of this boomerang shaped shawl is knit in Garter stitch, while the border design is composed of blocks of Garter stitch and an easy, yarn over lace pattern. By simply shifting the direction of the companion decreases, the direction of the blocks changes, which make them appear to tilt left or right. The easy stitches and repetitive nature of the design make this shawl suitable for an adventurous beginner who is ready to expand their skills.”
This Adventurous Beginner to Intermediate level pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills include yarn over increases and k2tog and ssk decreases.
Turbulence uses our new Crema Sock yarn. This is a super soft and luxurious sock yarn! It has a gorgeous drape, wonderful structure, a soft hand, and a subtle glow. It is made with 70% Superwash Merino Wool and 30% Mulberry Silk.
The sample shawl was made with our Resolute Hues kit. However, you can knit this shawl with any colors or any fingering weight yarn that you desire.
Our sample used 910 yds (832 m) total: [Color A: 302 yds (276 m), Color B: 308 yds (282 m), Color C: 300 yds (275 m)].
We filmed a video tutorial for you showing you how to work the beginning of this shawl. Take a look:

Hi there… I’ve found a mistake in the pattern… From R28 you have missed the ssk before the SM. Also, you say “k9 THEN k to 2 sts before m… which is the same thing. It repeats in R30 and R32. Thanks for the pattern though. I’m looking forward to seeing how it looks finished.
