Awareness in Ribbons and Lace Shawl by Kimberly Gintar
What is Being Made
Awareness in Ribbons and Lace is a crescent-shaped knitted shawl designed by Kimberly Gintar. This intermediate to advanced level project creates a finished shawl measuring approximately 20 inches (51 cm) high at the middle and highest point, with a 70-inch (177 cm) bottom edge. The shawl is designed to lie snugly on the shoulders and neck, making it both a functional and elegant accessory. A portion of the proceeds from pattern sales supports The Jimmy Fund and The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for cancer research.
Construction Techniques
The shawl features a unique multi-section construction method that creates visual interest and structural integrity. The pattern begins by knitting a lace edging and the first twisted stitch ribbon section, with pattern stitches worked on both right-side and wrong-side rows. After completing this initial section, stitches are picked up to transition into the second cable ribbon section. The construction concludes with short row shaping worked in garter stitch, which creates the distinctive crescent shape and ensures the shawl drapes comfortably around the shoulders and neck.
Stitches Used
- Lace stitches in the edging section
- Twisted stitch ribbon patterns
- Cable ribbon stitches
- Garter stitch for short row shaping
Pattern Symbolism
The garter stitch section of this shawl represents a snuggly hug around your shoulders, adding meaningful intention to the wearable design.
Materials and Yarn Requirements
This shawl requires 1100 yards (1006 meters) of sport weight yarn. The designer used 6 skeins of Lana Grossa Cool Wool T for the original sample. Sport weight yarn is a lightweight option that creates delicate drape while remaining durable enough for a garment meant to be worn regularly.
Skill Level
This pattern is rated intermediate to advanced, making it suitable for knitters with solid foundational skills who are ready to tackle more complex stitch patterns and construction techniques.
