Lang PTO27-02 Shawl Wrap Knitting Pattern

Lang PTO27-02 Lace Shawl

What is Being Made

The Lang PTO27-02 is a sophisticated triangular shawl designed for elegant layering and draping. This seamless, flat-worked shawl measures approximately 25¼ inches wide by 65 inches long (64 x 165 cm), making it a generous wrap suitable for various occasions and seasons. The shawl is crafted using LANGYARNS LINELLO, a luxurious blend fiber composed of linen, cotton, and viscose that provides breathability and a refined drape.

Techniques and Construction

This shawl employs lace knitting as its primary design technique, creating an open, airy fabric with decorative eyelet details throughout. The garment is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, and the construction is entirely seamless, eliminating the need for finishing seams. The pattern utilizes a charted eyelet motif that repeats systematically across the width of the piece, allowing knitters to follow a visual representation of the stitch pattern rather than relying solely on written instructions.

The shawl begins with a cast-on of 104 stitches and progresses through repeated eight-row pattern repeats until the desired length of approximately 65 inches is achieved. The pattern includes strategic edge stitches worked in stockinette stitch (knit on right-side rows, purl on wrong-side rows) to frame the lace pattern and provide stability at the garment edges. The final step involves a loose bind-off worked in pattern to maintain the aesthetic consistency of the lace design.

Stitches Used

The Lang PTO27-02 shawl employs several fundamental knitting stitches combined to create its lace effect:

• Stockinette Stitch: Used for the edge stitches and as the base structure, worked as knit stitches on right-side rows and purl stitches on wrong-side rows
• Yarn Overs (YO): Essential lace elements that create the characteristic eyelet holes and decorative openwork throughout the pattern
• Knit Two Together (K2tog): A right-leaning decrease used to balance yarn overs and maintain stitch count
• Slip, Knit, Pass Slipped Stitch Over (Sl 1, K1, psso): A left-leaning decrease that provides directional shaping and lace definition
• Purl Stitches: Worked on wrong-side rows to support the lace pattern, with special handling of double yarn overs that are purled once normally and once through the back loop

Materials and Tools

The shawl requires 300 grams of LANGYARNS LINELLO yarn, available in gold-yellow (color number 1066.0050), supplied as three balls for convenient project management. The yarn composition of linen, cotton, and viscose creates a fabric with excellent drape and breathability, making this shawl suitable for warm-weather wear.

Knitters will need ADDI knitting needles in size US 6 (4mm) to achieve the specified gauge. The pattern specifies a gauge of 24 stitches and 30 rows measuring 4 inches (10 cm) when worked in the eyelet pattern on US 6 needles, ensuring proper finished dimensions and fabric characteristics.
