Please note that this PATTERN IS BEING UPDATED to a brand new layout. New design samples will be included in the projects area. If you purchase the pattern here in the interim, you will automatically receive the update when it becomes available.

A triangular design, ENCORE is a reversible, simple, intuitive design, focusing on garter, eyelet & stockinette. It’s easy & fun to knit.

Worked from the top down your cast on becomes the wingspan of your shawl. After a foundation row, you then decrease all the way to the end!

Very beginner friendly, this pattern is also a fabulous palette cleanser for experienced knitters. And this is a great project for ‘on the go’ or ‘meeting’ knitting.

By varying the basic pattern instructions some very different looks are possible, & information on how to to this is included in the pattern.

There are (going to be) 3 STITCH COUNTS to choose from (currently there are 2). Add that to varying yarn choices & needle sizes, & you have several elements that influence the final size of your shawl.

And a SINGLE skein of FINGERING WEIGHT can be used to knit a lovely version from that ‘special’ skein you’ve been saving for this very purpose!

You can experiment with Fingering Weight, Sport Weight, DK, as well as a combination of Fingering Weight & Lace Weight Mohair, double stranded.

After this design was published, I went on to design ENCORE 2 & FINAL ENCORE. And after that … well, suffice to say … there is now a bundle of shawls designed using the very same TOP DOWN method of construction. I hope you enjoy discovering them all!
