17 January, 2007 | Free Pattern: Kidsilk Haze Shawl

This seemed to take forever, but it has become my favorite completed project. The mohair is yummy soft and very effective at protecting me from chilly wind that comes off of our Bay without bulk.

Essentially, it’s just a wide scarf with a simple lacy row. I used 10.5 needles and Rowan Kidsilk Haze.
Pattern: Cast on 66 stitches, knit 5 rows. I slip the first stitch of each for a clean edge.
Lacy row: sl1 *k2tog YO, repeat from * until end, k1
knit 10 rows.
Lacy row
knit 10 rows.
Repeat lacy row every 10 rows until desired length. (about 60″)
Knit 5 rows
Lacy row
Knit 5 rows
Bind Off.

• Hi, I just love your shawl. How many balls of rowan Hidsilk Haze did you use or yardage. This will be on my list to knit later.
  Thanks, Jenny

• Greetings fellow knitter. Like Jenny I am curious. How many balls of Kidsilk Haze did you use? I have four of Dewberry and instead of doing Rowan’s Burch Shawl, I think I’d rather tackle this pattern.

  Thank you.

• I’ve been watching for this response, as well! The shawl looks beautiful and I would like to know the yardage used. Thank you!

• Hello again. I noticed you say the shawl is about 60″ long. Are you a “tight” knitter, a “loose” knitter or one who knits pretty much to gage all the time? At $13.75/ball I don’t want to buy more yarn is necessary and if the four KSH I have will cover the project I’d like to know. This would make a terrific gift.

• Sorry about the delay. I had emailed Jenny but didn’t update here.

  I used about 1 and 1/3 balls of kidsilk haze. I’m a tight knitter. I recently did it again using Annie Blatt kid mohair in Navy. You can see it on Flickr here

• Thank you for the information. Think this will be pretty made up in Dewberry.

• […] 2. Kidsilk Night Shawl from this pattern at CheekyAttitude.com. Firstly, I hate Kidsilk Night. I just… no. Icky sticky yarn. Secondly, it’s for a holiday several months down the line. I am fooling myself into thinking I can get it done in time if I avoid it for awhile. I really should know better. […]

• Lovely shawl! I have some Karabella Gossamer I am thinking of using for this. I do have a question, are the knit rows stockinette stitch or garter stitch, hope you can help me with this. Thank you very much, Charlotte.

• Hi Tricia, This is really beautiful!
  I wanted to know how Wide this is? Is it like 15″ x 60″ If I put on say 86 sts on size 9 circs would I get it wider than yours?
  I don’t have size 10 needles.

• PS I would most likely use Alpaca 80/silk20 in plum, think that would work?

• Thanks for the comment love. To answer the only question I can:
  Charlotte: it is using knit stitches only so it is garter stitch.

  Grace in VT: I’m not a very experienced knitter so I don’t know how to change the sizing of it. It is 15″ wide and 60″ long.
