The Rosy Lotus Shawl is a triangular shawl worked forth and back in one piece from the top down.
The cables should represent a large water lily, with two smaller ones on the sides. Underneath is a single-colored “wave section” - the water for the water lily.

A special knitting method is used - it results in a two-colored garter stitch body. The cables are knitted out separately and are moved over the body.
This technique is not difficult, but you have to work the cable stitches also on the wrong side rows.

It’s an intermediate pattern - a nice challenge for all good knitters.

There are no charts! Only written instructions! And some extra help and photos.

Original yarn:

Lamana „Como“ (100% Merino Wool, 120 m/25 g)

7 balls in col. 62 (Rose Quartz)
5 balls in col. 49 (Crocus)
(300 grams in total)

If you choose a different yarn, I would recommend using a yarn with twice the yardage per 50 grams (e.g. approx. 240 m/50 g – light fingering to fingering weight). Otherwise the shawl will be much too heavy and much too thick. On the other hand, I would not recommend using a lace yarn either.

To make the water lily stand out, you should use a light and a dark color.

Please note that you may need more yarn if you use a larger needle size or knit looser.

Here are some suggestions for alternative yarns:

Malabrigo Sock (402 m/100 g)
Cascade 220 Fingering (250 m/50 g)
Lang Yarns „Merino 200 Bébé“ (200 m/50 g)
Mirasol „Sulka Legato“ (250 m/50 g)
Miss Babs „Avon“ (448 m/100g)

Happy Knitting!
