The Empire Shawl is a striking, symmetrical triangle shawl that blends sections of garter and stockinette stitch in rotating sections for a rhythmic, satisfying knit. It begins with a bold, geometric panel created through simple slipped stitches and playful colorwork, forming radiating lines that flow beautifully into the body.
Designed to showcase my custom-spun Empire Estate DK yarn —100% New York wool from sheep to skein — however it works beautifully in any sport, DK, or worsted weight yarn.
Whether you're a beginner ready to explore shaping and texture, or an experienced knitter craving a meditative, on-the-go project, the Empire Shawl delivers: easy to memorize, engaging from start to finish, and effortlessly stunning.
