Antler is a classic textured shawl that’s sure to become a wardrobe staple. Picture wearing it as a stunning accessory on cool evenings or wrapping yourself in it as you snuggle up with a good book in front of a fire.

The textured stitch pattern looks impressive but is quite fast and fun to do! The stitch patterns are easy and there’s even a video tutorial for the Antler stitch pattern.

Choose your color scheme: Make a rich monochrome version or use a contrasting color for the section borders as is written into the pattern instructions. It’s also stunning to use a gradient for the MC sections. A worksheet is included to help you choose your color scheme and manage the given yardage requirements for your chosen yarn colors.

Antler is a triangle shawl with a center spine and is worked top-down. The pattern is both charted and written…yes, every single row of every chart is written out and included at the end of the pattern!

The pattern is written for heavy fingering or sport weight yarn and works beautifully in DK weight too. Size and yarn usage will vary with differences in yarn and gauge.
