Soleil is a magnificent crescent shawl, worked top-down in fingering weight yarn. It starts as an easy garter stitch pattern, broken by twisted knit stitches (“Garter Stitch with a Twist”, as I call it) that transitions into simple yet breathtaking lace. The picot edging adds an elegant and romantic touch to the shawl.

This design was created in collaboration with Woolaines ♡

This pattern includes charts and row-by-row written instructions.

Size: one size; measurements after blocking: approx. 192 cm/ 75.5“ wide and 42 cm/ 16.5“ long measured from center top to bottom;
Gauge: 24 sts and 36 rows = 10 cm/ 4” in Stockinette Stitch on 3.5 mm/ US4 needles, measured flat after blocking;
Gauge is not important for this project but it will affect the size of your shawl and the yardage. Make sure you have enough yarn to complete your project.
Yarn: Woolaines Merino Single SW, 100% merino wool superwash; 400 meters (437 yards)/ 100g (3.53 oz), 2 skeins;
Needles: 3.5 mm/ US4 or needle size to obtain the gauge; it is recommended to use circular needles at least 80-100 cm/ 32”-40” long to accommodate the growing number of stitches;
