Product Description
Berroco Miss Honey Knit Shawl
What Is Being Made
Miss Honey is a triangular knit shawl designed by Donna Yacino, measuring approximately 62 inches across by 26 inches down the center after blocking. This intermediate-level shawl is worked as a single piece from the neck down, making it an elegant wrap suitable for layering or wearing as a statement accessory.
Construction and Techniques
The shawl employs a bottom-up construction method, beginning with a small garter tab cast-on that is picked up and expanded into the main body. This technique creates a seamless, unified garment worked entirely in one piece on a circular needle.
The design features lace patterning throughout, created using charted stitch sequences. The lace sections are strategically placed and separated by garter stitch borders, which provide structure and frame the delicate openwork. The combination of lace and garter creates visual interest while maintaining the shawl's drape and wearability.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques
Miss Honey incorporates several essential knitting techniques:
- Garter stitch – used for the initial tab and border sections
- Stockinette stitch – forms the base of the lace pattern areas
- Yarn overs (yo) – create the openwork characteristic of lace
- Decreases (SSK and k2tog) – balance the yarn overs and shape the lace motifs
- Kfb (knit front and back) – used for increases that expand the shawl from the center outward
- Stitch markers – help organize pattern repeats and maintain structure across the three main sections
Materials
The shawl is knit using Berroco Pixel yarn in the colorway Grasshopper (#2210). The pattern calls for 2 hanks of 100 grams each, providing ample yardage for the finished dimensions. A 29-inch circular needle in size 7 (4.50 mm) is used to work the shawl flat, with 3 stitch markers to organize the pattern sections. The recommended gauge is 18 stitches and 30 rows over 4 inches in the charted pattern after blocking, ensuring proper finished measurements and drape.
