Plymouth Yarn M Albion Bloom Shawl
What Is Being Made
The Plymouth Yarn M Albion Bloom Shawl (Pattern No. M122) is a triangular lace shawl designed to be worked flat from the top down. This finished shawl measures 47 ¼ inches in height and 76 inches in width, making it a generous wrap suitable for layering or draping across the shoulders. The shawl's construction allows for customization—knitters can adjust the final dimensions by working additional or fewer repeats of the lace and border patterns.
Techniques Used
This shawl is created using seamless knitting techniques, worked flat on a single circular needle. The primary construction method relies on lace knitting, which creates the delicate, openwork aesthetic characteristic of fine shawls. The lace patterns are built through strategic yarn overs and decreases that form intricate geometric designs. The pattern is highly repeatable, allowing knitters to customize the shawl's size by working additional pattern repeats as desired.
Stitches Used
The Albion Bloom Shawl employs a variety of essential knitting stitches to create its lace structure:
- Knit (k) and purl (p) stitches form the foundation of the fabric
- Yarn overs (yo) create the characteristic holes and openwork that define lace knitting
- Knit through the back loop (k1-tbl) and purl through the back loop (p1-tbl) add textural variation and twisted stitches throughout the design
- Knit two together (k2tog) and slip, slip, knit (ssk) serve as decrease stitches that balance the yarn overs and shape the lace motifs
Two distinct lace patterns are featured: Lace Pattern 1, which repeats over 14 rows, and Lace Pattern 2, which works over a multiple of 20 stitches. These patterns can be combined and repeated to achieve the desired finished dimensions.
Materials and Tools
The Albion Bloom Shawl is crafted using Pima Rino yarn in color 0001, with a total yardage requirement of 5 skein units at 50 grams each. The recommended needle size is US 7 in a 32-inch circular configuration, which accommodates the growing stitch count as the shawl expands. Two stitch markers are needed to track pattern repeats. The lace pattern achieves a gauge of 16 stitches and 21 ½ rows over 4 inches when measured over Lace Pattern 1 after blocking, which is essential for achieving the correct finished measurements.
