Scheepjes | Knitting Pattern YARN - The After Party no.52 Eastern Sunset Shawl
Designed by Margje Enting
Picture a serene spring evening, the sky awash with the warm tones of a setting sun—that's the feeling captured in the Eastern Sunset Shawl. Measuring a generous 200 x 50 cm, this elegant shawl unfolds across three distinct sections, each showcasing a different knitting technique. It begins with simple garter stitch, transitions into striking mosaic knitting, and finishes with a delicate lace pattern. Don’t worry if you’re not an expert—the pattern includes clear, step-by-step instructions, making it approachable for adventurous beginners and beyond.
