Glistening Stars

On March 18, 2016, in double knitting, scarf, shawl, by Anna

One of my favourite projects this winter has been a new double-knitting design called Glistening Stars.

Glistening Stars is an exploration in Nordic Star motifs. The many different stars spread out over an unusual shaped shawl, full of twists and turns. Glistening Stars is a double-knit shawl.

2 x 150 g of Kauni Effektgarn weight yarn in contrasting colours will give you a shawl which is 195 cm (76,5”) long and 30 cm (12”) wide at the midpoint.

For my Glistening Stars shawl I used Kauni Effektgarn EZ and EY, but there are several other yarns that would work well, including Wollmeise 100% Sockenwolle, or Bugga from the Verdant Gryphon, or Palette from KnitPicks, or just about any other sport/fingering weight yarn.

The pattern includes detailed instructions on double-knitting. So it is an excellent way to learn a new technique. If you’re already a double-knitting expert, just enjoy the shawl.

Since it is double-knit, the shawl is fully reversible.

The pattern is charted, and is available as a PDF download for $8.00.
