Confluence Knit Shawl weaves together eyelet lace, open mesh, and slipped-stitch texture into an asymmetric wrap that rewards experienced knitters who love technique-rich making. The flowing, drapey fabric is engineered by working DK yarn on generously sized needles, letting the stitches open up into structured, light-catching sections.

Construction and technique

• Worked flat in a single piece with no seaming required
• Asymmetric silhouette drawing on both triangle and rectangle geometry
• Techniques include eyelet and mesh lace sections, slipped stitches for surface texture, and mixed textured patterning throughout
• Unisex construction; suitable for teens through adults
• Full schematic included
