Openwork Lattice Shawl with Darn Good Yarn

When I first signed on as an ambassador for Darn Good Yarn I knew I was in for a treat. But I didn’t realize how much the plethora of yarns on the Darn Good Yarn website would inspire me. I’ve created this Openwork Lattice Shawl pattern and it was heavily influenced by the yarn I chose. For this shawl I went with the Lace Weight Silk Yarn which comes in a variety of colors that can go with any outfit! The result is a lightweight airy, playful shawl that's perfect for the chillier summer evenings.

The Openwork Lattice Shawl is the perfect project for a knitter wanting to try their first shawl. This shawl was designed for everyday wear, being simple and elegant, it would match perfect with some jeans and sneakers! Knit from side to side it grows into an asymmetrical triangle that drapes perfectly when wrapped around your neck and shoulders. Sections of relaxing garter stitch are paired with sections of the openwork lattice stitch and end with a textured seed stitch section to keep things interesting. The overall effect is highly structural yet playful at the same time.

To really help the color and texture of the Openwork Lattice Shawl pop, I needed to pick the right yarn. Darn Good Yarn has so many amazing options on their site. A lighter yarn seemed appropriate for the summertime , so I looked through the fingering/lace weight, category selection.

I instantly fell in love with the vibrant color palette of the Lace Weight Silk Yarn. This yarn is great because it has a touch of silk in it, which gives the finished project some additional elegance! You’ll need three skeins for the Openwork Lattice Shawl making it a great choice. The yarn comes in amazing colors (shown Autumnal Equinox) making the choice quite difficult!

Darn Good Yarn has also released the Openwork Lattice Shawl as a kit making it really easy to shop- you are just choosing your favorite color- or you can also gift it to a friend!
