The Quill Shawl

The Quill Shawl is inspired by The Woolchemist Regency Romantasy advent box for 2024. Do you want to explore this as a mystery with unexpected colours, or use the gradient numbers option? (NB Currently, images are in greyscale to avoid spoilers for those opening The Woolchemist Advent box)

It is knit sideways in 24 wedge shaped sections – perfect for a box of 24 20g minis. Each section will take just over half of each mini (with sections 1 and 24 taking slightly more) so you will have leftovers to explore another project and don’t have to worry about running out.

It could also be created in a repeating stripe of 2-12 colours, or in a single colour – your creativity is limitless.

If using 24 mini skeins, these are changed almost invisibly as you knit to create a swirling, generous shawl to wrap around your shoulders after a ball, or perhaps just to read in a window seat at home. It is inspired by the Regency Romantasy motifs of quills, feathers and butterflies.

Written instructions in an easy to follow grid  are provided as well as charts – use whichever method you prefer. 

You will need:

24 20g 4ply minis
