Are you on the hunt for a shawl pattern that’s a perfect match for your favourite worsted-weight yarn? Or craving hours of meditative knitting time?

If so, you’ll love the Lumo shawl. This big and comfy bias triangle shawl feels like a comforting hug from a loved one.

Think cosy, think meditative – Lumo is all that and more.

Lumo (loo-moh), meaning enchantment in Finnish, captures the magic of this worsted-weight wrap. With a subtly textured leaf motif on stockinette stitch and an i-cord bind-off, it’s comfy yet refined.

The epitome of versatility, Lumo gives you the freedom to customise the size to your liking. Make your shawl as big as you want, and use every last bit of your chosen yarn.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a passionate beginner, Lumo promises an engaging and rewarding project. Embrace the simplicity of your new go-to shawl for the ultimate blend of comfort and style.

YARN
Three skeins of De Rerum Natura Gilliatt (100% merino wool; 250 m / 273 yds per 100 g). Shown in colour Aster.

Or approximately 750 m / 819 yds of similar worsted weight yarn.

NEEDLES
Size 5 mm / US 8 needles or size to achieve pattern gauge

This shawl is worked flat, but I recommend using 80 – 100 cm / 32 – 40 inch circular needles to accommodate the growing number of stitches.
