Introducing the pattern for my advent this year! ALSO: This sample shawl is NOT done in the colours of my advent! I used 20g increments to show the pattern!
This is the Kinsmen Shawl. Involving a garter tab start, yarn overs, and broken ribbing, it’s designed to be a mindful, meditative knit - one that holds you interest just enough to be interesting, but still allowing you to relax into the pattern. The edge features eyelets that just pull the whole thing together.
In the Hobbit, the company of dwarves are largely all related to each other - cousins and brothers and uncles and other distant relations. In this shawl, the broken ribbing lines can be traced all the way back to the start of the shawl, through the eyelet increases. The idea of lineages, and family, and being able to trace those stitches all the way back to the start was so pleasing that I Just Had To call it Kinsmen. It’s not up on Ravelry yet, but it will be once the advent is released. It’ll also be on my website, so if you want the pattern, but not the advent necessarily, you can grab a copy!
The pattern has been tech edited, and tested, and the finished shawl is incredibly squishy. I’ve popped a couple of sneaky photos down below for you to have a look at . The other great thing is that this pattern is designed to use as much yarn as possible - if you run out of a colour in the middle of the row, that’s okay! Just pick up the next colour, and keep on knitting.
If you’d like to include a copy of the pattern with your advent, the pattern is an optional extra that costs $10 AUD.
