Rowan 02 Rose Knitted Shawl
What is Being Made
The Rowan 02 Rose is an elegant knitted shawl designed by Georgia Farrell. This intermediate-level project creates a large triangular wrap with generous dimensions, measuring 136.5 cm (53¾ inches) along the row-end edge, 127.5 cm (50¼ inches) along the cast-off edge, and 187 cm (73½ inches) along the longest edge. The finished shawl provides substantial coverage suitable for layering or wrapping.
Techniques Used
This shawl employs classic lace knitting techniques that create an open, airy fabric. The construction begins with a small cast-on of just 3 stitches, which is then progressively increased throughout the piece to achieve the triangular silhouette. The pattern features yarn forward increases (yfwd) strategically placed to create decorative eyelet details characteristic of lace shawls. Decreases using knit two together (K2tog) and slip-slip-knit (sl 1, K2tog, psso) techniques are worked in tandem with the increases to shape the fabric and form the lace patterning. The shawl grows through repeating pattern rows that maintain consistent stitch counts while creating geometric lace motifs.
Stitches Used
The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches combined in a sophisticated manner. Key stitches include:
- Knit stitch (K) – the foundation stitch forming the base fabric
- Yarn forward (yfwd) – creates decorative eyelets and increases stitch count
- Knit two together (K2tog) – a right-leaning decrease that shapes the fabric
- Slip-slip-knit (sl 1, K2tog, psso) – a centered double decrease creating prominent lace details
The pattern repeats from rows 27 to 50 over 19 complete cycles, with 12 stitches increased per 24-row pattern repeat. This systematic approach allows knitters to establish a rhythm while the shawl gradually expands to its full dimensions.
Materials
The Rowan 02 Rose is worked using 4mm (US 6) needles, specified as one pair. The yarn is Rowan Cotton Wool, a blend fiber available in 50-gram balls. The pattern is photographed in the colorway Piglet 207. The recommended tension is 20 stitches and 37 rows to 10 centimeters, measured over the lace pattern using the specified needle size. Achieving proper tension is important for obtaining the intended finished dimensions and ensuring the lace pattern displays correctly.
