Knit This Relaxing Shawl Today – Serene

Hello, sweet soul! This week for our first pattern of 2024, I have a stunning, slip stitch shawl to share with you! This knit pattern includes instructions to make both a beaded and a non-beaded shawl. Keep reading to find out more about it!Serene was designed by Pam Meek. When asked about her debut design, Pam said, “I love easy, simple patterns. I always keep a project in my knitting basket that I can use when I am watching TV or a movie. This shawl is just perfect for that. Serene is a simple two-row repeat that is easy to memorize and is relaxing to make. Shown in two versions, the easy, non-beaded version is good for beginning knitters. The beaded version is perfect for experienced knitters who want a simple pattern but with some fun beadwork. The pattern can be fully adjusted to suit your preferences. I hope that when you knit it, you too will find it easy and enjoyable to make and wear.”

This Adventurous Beginner for Non-Beaded Version/Intermediate for Beaded Version pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include increasing and decreasing, changing colors, and beading (optional).

Serene was made with our Allure Fingering yarn. This yarn is pure elegance! It has a luscious drape, dreamy softness, and lovely color saturation! Silk takes the dye so beautifully, which results in rich, eye-catching shades. Made from 100% Mulberry Silk, Allure Fingering is unbelievably soft with a shine that just won’t quit! 218 yds/200 m per skein.
