I love a good scone. Whether it’s plain and mounded or filled with fruit and shaped into a wedge, it always goes well with a hot mug of tea and a book. Scones are the perfect afternoon snack, especially on cold, gray days when I want to snuggle down with something warm and cozy.
The Berry Scone Shawl is meant to be the perfect companion to an afternoon of reading and tea guzzling. It’s just big enough to wrap you up in warmth without being so big that it gets unwieldy. The bobbles that break up the rows of lace are a deliberate echo of the little red spots of berry in my favorite scones.
Size
The finished shawl is an asymmetrical triangle shape, and is written for one size.
You'll need 720 yds (659 m) of fingering weight yarn. I knit the sample up in Knit One Crochet Too Winter Blossom (249 yds/227 ms, 50 Grams/ 1.7 oz skein), a soft, fluffy blend of organic extra-fine merino wool, mohair, and silk.
4” (10 cm) square = 29 stitches x 38 rows in seed stitch after blocking Gauge isn’t terribly important for this project, but please note that changes in gauge may change (1) the size of your finished shawl, (2) the drape of the fabric, and (3) the amount of yarn you may need.
Tools
You'll need one set of 24” (60 cm) circular needles (suggested needle sizes: US 6/4 mm), as well as one stitch marker, a size G (4 mm) crochet hook (optional), and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
This pattern is written for adventurous beginner to intermediate knitters. It uses increases, decreases, bobbles, and lace knitting techniques.
