Whiskey Glass Shawl

The Whiskey Glass Shawl pattern is available in both English and Hungarian, making it accessible to a wider audience of knitting enthusiasts.

The Whiskey Glass Shawl is a beautifully simple triangular shawl that you can easily work from the top down. Utilizing basic stitching techniques, this shawl produces an exquisite textured finish that evokes the elegance of an old crystal glass resting on the table of your favorite cigar salon. As you play with the stitches and repeats, you'll find that some rows allow for quicker progress, while others encourage you to slow down and savor each stitch, creating a meditative knitting experience.

SIZE: The shawl features an impressive wingspan of approximately 167 cm (65 inches) and a depth of 74 cm (29 inches), making it a striking accessory that can elevate any outfit.

NEEDLES AND MATERIALS: You will need one minimum 100 cm (40 inches) circular needle. The suggested needle size for fingering weight yarn is 3 mm (US 3). Additionally, don’t forget to have stitch markers, blocking pins, and blocking mats on hand to help achieve that perfect finish.

YARN: For this project, you'll need approximately 1000 m (1094 yards) of fingering weight yarn. I’ve personally used Scheepjes Whirl in the 'Mid Morning Mocha’roo' colorway, which worked wonderfully. The yarn choice for this pattern is flexible—the thicker the yarn, the more texture your shawl will showcase. However, keep in mind that using a different yarn thickness may alter the final size of the shawl.

GAUGE: To ensure a proper fit and drape, aim for a gauge of 22 stitches and 35 rows per 10 x 10 cm swatch. This will help you maintain the intended dimensions and achieve the beautiful texture that the Whiskey Glass Shawl is known for.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter, the Whiskey Glass Shawl is a delightful project that combines simplicity with sophistication. Download the pattern today and indulge in the calming art of knitting!
