Free Knitting Pattern for an Áster Shawl.
This free knitting pattern guides you through creating a beautifully textured and airy shawl, the “Áster Shawl,” designed by Filipa Carneiro. Knit with two strands of delicate yarn held together, this shawl begins at the center with a magic ring and expands outwards in a crescent shape. The design features unique “Flower” stitch motifs and an “Aster flower stitch pattern” that create an intricate and visually stunning fabric. The pattern incorporates increases to achieve its elegant shape and is finished with an elastic bind-off for a refined edge. This project is perfect for knitters looking to explore textured stitches and create a lightweight yet luxurious accessory.
Skill Level: Intermediate. The pattern involves working with two strands of yarn held together, a magic ring start, intricate stitch patterns like the “Flower” and “Aster flower,” and shaping through increases and decreases. These techniques suggest it’s best suited for knitters with some experience beyond basic knitting.
Sizing: The finished shawl measures approximately 180 centimeters in width and 58 centimeters in height at the center point.
