Ipanema Shawl – Knitting Pattern
Ipanema is a top-down, crescent-shaped shawl worked in two colors of DK weight yarn. This contemporary design features a border of bold stripes of geometric horseshoe lace nestled in between graceful waves of garter ridges. The centered double decreases of the lace pattern add a contrasting vertical design element. And the wingspan tips will fall into pretty curls if you block to the recommended shape. The end result is a versatile shawl with beautiful, clean lines and loads of texture that is easy to wear and relaxing to knit.
Ipanema is a wonderful shawl for newer knitters, since there is just enough easy lace to be interesting but not so much to overwhelm! And so I’ve included detailed descriptions and video links that will guide adventurous beginners through all the techniques and stitches required to knit this shawl.
