Audria Shawl is a soft and sweet hug on a breezy evening. Inspired by the simplicity of rounded flower petals and light, foggy haze of summertime dusk hours, the shawl reflects these in its minimal textures and muted contrasts.

Audria is a symmetrical shallow triangular shawl knit top down with a Garter Tab Cast-On and regular increases along the edges and its central spine to obtain its final shallow triangle shape. It features smooth stockinette sections along with short and sweet sprout-like lace motifs in MC enclosed on both sides by scalloped petal rows in stranded colourwork worked on both sides of the project.

The scalloped petal end ribbing is worked with German Short Rows and is bound off in Stretchy Ribbing Bind-Off to ensure a clean and controlled stretch. 

The pattern includes full written instructions supplemented with charted colourwork and lace motifs. (Please note, colourwork sections are charted only.)

SKILL LEVEL Intermediate - rapidly increasing number of sts, some rows with fluctuating st counts, colourwork on RS and WS of the project, ability to read colourwork charts, lace on RS and WS of the project, German Short Rows.
