This is a sampler-style shawl with instructions included for either beginner or intermediate stitch pattern options throughout. You can mix and match sections from either one, or you can knit the instructions straight through depending on what you fancy. Either way, the result will be unique, based on your preferences! The design is inspired by Lady Mary who is grieving throughout much of season 4 of Downton and I wanted to design a comforting shawl that she might wear during this time. As requested by many KAL participants, I have included cast on instructions for a shorter version of the shawl so that you can adjust for your height or if you'd like to use a bit less yardage.
You can find the original Knit-Along for this pattern on our Downton Abbey Mystery KAL 2014 page on Ravelry.
Note: Leanne's shawlette pictured here features all beginner instructions except for the intermediate border.

Materials:
- 2 Skeins of Lorna's Laces Honor (Shown in "Bated Breath", which was a Lorna's Limited Edition color for January 2014), OR 550 yards of a DK weight yarn with plenty of drape (factor in extra yardage for the larger size if you do not want to worry about following row gauge closely throughout. 100-150 extra yards should be more than enough.)
- US size 7 / 4.5mm - 40" or longer circular needle (optional, not included)
- 9 Stitch Markers
- Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends
- A larger needle (2 sizes larger at least) for creating a loose bind off.
|
Size:
- *Large size (shown in photos) in parenthesis.
- Top Edge: 46.5 (61.5)"
- Bottom Edge: 94.5 (125.5)"
- Length at Point (both sizes): 11"
Gauge:
- 20 sts & 28 rows = 4" in Stockinette Stitch
- *Definitely do a gauge swatch if you aren't sure about gauge. You can rip it out and re-use the yarn afterwards if you need to. Row gauge is VERY important in this pattern since yardage is tight for the larger size. If you don't want to have to worry about row gauge, be sure to reserve extra yarn (about 20% more) for this project than is called for, or knit the smaller size.
