Lily Shawl
Image: The image shows an East Asian woman with faded purple hair posing. She is wearing a white dress, with a blueish-gray and aqua shawl draped across her shoulders. The shawl features rows of garter stitch, eyelet lace, and a leaf motif that showcases the Fluff and Lace Luxe bases. She looks at the camera, holding a potted plant close to her torso.
Image: The image shows a large, asymmetrical shawl hung on two nails on a white wall. The blueish-gray and aqua shawl has a triangular shape, and features rows of garter stitch, eyelet lace, and a leaf motif that showcases the Fluff and Lace Luxe bases.
Named after my favorite Animal Crossing villager, Lily, and the lily of the valley flowers in the game, the Lily Shawl is a collaboration with Seismic Yarn. Using Eva’s Charcoal and 5 Star Island colorways, the shawl alternates between soothing rows of garter stitch and engaging lace, resulting in a comfortable and versatile shawl perfect for layering.
Hold two strands of Charcoal in Lace Luxe and Fluff to give your shawl a bit of 🌟EXTRA🌟 coziness, while letting the variegated aqua colors sing in 5 Star Island!
The shawl is easily modified for whatever yarns you have on hand, and sections may be added and subtracted as you wish for a shawl that fits YOU.
DETAILS
Sizes: One size, but the pattern may easily be modified by adding or subtracting sections.
Yarn: 2 colors of fingering weight yarn.
C1: 350 yards
C2: 400 yards
Recommended Yarn: Sample is knit in Seismic Yarns’ Butter Sock in 5 Star Island (C1), and Lace Luxe and Fluff in Charcoal held together (C2).
If using stash yarns, please consider the fiber content and ply of your yarns. A plumper fingering weight yarn will result in a squisher shawl, while a sleeker yarn will result in a drapier fabric.
This pattern is designed to suit a wide variety of yarns, whether it be hand-spun or big box acrylic. It all depends on your personal preference and what you envision for the finished project!
Needles: Circular needles in US 6 (4.0mm).
Gauge: Gauge is not critical, but should approximate to 20 stitches and 46 rows after blocking for 4 inches squared in garter stitch, knit flat.
