Judging by our poll, shawls are one of your favorite project types. And with good reason – they’re fun to knit, great to wear and an excuse to use up different yarns or colors.
Lincette by Corrina Ferguson . $7.
Crescent and two colors. Stockinette and lace work up pretty, wearable lace. Find her in her rav group or on twitter @picnicknits.
Aranthera by Jen Lucas $6.50.
Asymmetric triangle. Simple lace and stockinette with a bit of texture. If you’re not into charts this is a good one – it’s all written! Given its shape it’s also one to knit with your entire skein.

Mossvale shawl by Shara Lambeth $3.
Bobbles and a popcorn edging make this one not-your-everyday shawl and the DK weight works up quickly and keeps you warm. Shara knit it up with a contrast edging but you could use the same color or one just slightly different for some subtlety.

Schaumknonen cowlette by Simone Kereit. $7.
The cowlette makes for a quick knit. Simone knit it up in two colors but one would work nicely too. Both charted and written directions you have your choice.

Dolce Speciale Natale by Emma Fascio. Free until Dec 26th.
Side-to-side shawl work in garter with eyelet accents. Emma used a gradient by ChiaroScuro Dye Lab (the same hand-dyer used by Woolly Wormhead in her Elbert’s Cap!). A semi-solid or varied hand-dyed would work well too.

Wien by Valentina Cosciani. $20 (part of a book)
A side-to-side asymmetric shawl with garter and lace. Valentina worked up the edge with a coordinating color but you could do it all in one color or with stripes for all the garter. Lots of options!

Each of those selections is beautiful, but my eyes keep going back to Mossvale. Could be because of my love of texture of maybe the color selection, but Mossvale is tops. 🙂

Great list! My favorite is Schaumkonen because it looks intricate but the cowlette probably makes it go quick. They’re all great!

Schaumknonen is lovely, right? those picots and that edging are gorgeous!
