Audria Shawl is a soft and sweet hug on a breezy evening. Inspired by the simplicity of rounded flower petals and light, foggy haze of summertime dusk hours, the shawl reflects these in its minimal textures and muted contrasts.
Created specifically for lower contrast yarn combinations with soft, understated tones, this design shines in heathered colourways.
Audria is a symmetrical shallow triangular shawl knit top down with a Garter Tab Cast-On and regular increases along the edges and its central spine to obtain its final shallow triangle shape. It features smooth stockinette sections along with short and sweet sprout-like lace motifs in MC enclosed on both sides by scalloped petal rows in stranded colourwork worked on both sides of the project.
The scalloped petal end ribbing is worked with German Short Rows and is bound off in Stretchy Ribbing Bind-Off.
The pattern includes full written instructions supplemented with charted colourwork and lace motifs. (Please note, colourwork sections are charted only.)
The patten has been thoroughly tech edited and test knitted.
SKILL LEVEL Intermediate - rapidly increasing number of sts, fluctuating st counts, colourwork on RS and WS of the project, ability to read colourwork charts, lace on RS and WS of the project, German Short Rows.

NEEDLES
US 2.5 (3 mm) circulars with 40” (100 cm) cable. (or size to obtain a close gauge)
US 3 (3.25 mm) circulars with 40” (100 cm) cable. (or one size larger than the ones used to obtain a close gauge)
Please note, that the needle size is only a suggestion, since the gauge depends on your personal knitting tension.
GAUGE
20 sts x 29 rows = 4” (10 cm) worked flat in stockinette in smaller size needles and yarns held together after gentle wet blocking.
Due to the generous size of the shawl, gauge is not extremely crucial and having a tighter gauge will still result in a large sample. It is more desirable to have denser than looser fabric in this particular design to keep the lace motif textured.
NOTIONS
Stitch markers (4 markers to mark the garter edges and central spine, 30 markers to mark individual petals on End Ribbing), tapestry needle, scissors, blocking tools, 93 blocking pins to shape the petal ribbing edge
