West King

$6.00

SIZE:

Updated version: 71” x 19” (180 cm x 48 cm), blocked 

Original version: 74.5” x 22.5” (189 cm x 57 cm), blocked

MATERIALS: 

Expression Fiber Arts Tranquil DK or Dewy DK yarn

The updated sample is shown in Jam Tranquil DK.

The updated sample shown used 858 yds (785 m) - 4 skeins needed.

If those colors aren’t available, any from this category will work.

NEEDLE: 

US size ​​7 (4.5 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge

SKILL LEVEL:

Intermediate: This pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include simple lace and cables.

Notes From the Designer:

Everyone has that favorite place where they hang out. Maybe yours is where you read, knit, or enjoy a cup of joe. I do all of the above at a coffee shop on West King Street, hence the name of this pattern. Enjoy the shifting textures and simple lace while you knit your own West King Shawl, and wear it to all of your favorite haunts!

  • The original version was made with three skeins of Expression Fiber Arts Dewy DK yarn (4 oz/ 250 yds per skein) in the color Cocoa Black. Note, that version used 748 yds (684 m). It is strongly suggested that you purchase a 4th skein to ensure that you have enough yarn to complete your project.

  • This shawl is worked sideways from the right wing to the left. A slipped stitch seam runs the length of the shawl and separates the textured upper section from the lower lace section. Increases and decreases are worked at different intervals on each side of the wings.

  • The wings themselves are not entirely symmetrical; this is an intentional design feature. The lace pattern will remain constant throughout the body of the shawl, with increases and decreases worked into the pattern. The upper section utilizes various textures in the following order: Garter Stitch, Stockinette Stitch, Seed Stitch, Moss Stitch, Double Moss Stitch, Hedgerows (Stockinette interspersed with Garter bumps), X and Diamond Border, Inverness Diamonds, and Triple Braided Diamonds. After the Triple Braided Diamonds are complete, the other textures will be worked again in reverse order, though not with the same space in between each section. Again, this is intentional. It sounds confusing, but it becomes intuitive rather quickly.

  • Gauge is critical for this pattern, especially as cables eat so much yarn.

West King

Love this pattern. The different patterns and stitches give it a rich texture. Just to look at it, it seemed complicated, but in fact, taken the pattern one at a time, it's beautiful.

Such a well-written pattern. I am not the best at lace (yarn overs are my nemesis). I have found it helpful to place a “life line” of contrasting yarn every few rows in case I have made an error and need to “tink”. I have not yet received the beautiful yarn with which I am making this shawl, so I practiced with some yarn from my stash and it works up so beautifully. Looking forward to making and wearing this beautiful piece. Thanks for this pattern.

Beautiful wrap, making in EFA in the DK weight. It's lovely yarn to work with as it glides through my finger, has some body and weight to it and the drape is perfect for this pattern.

I have been looking for a very special pattern to make for my grandson's school's silent auction. I have not made this yet, but have read through the pattern and it's well written, clear and neat - done in sections. The yarn I got for separate projects is gorgeous! I tried the pastel pack - rich colors and one is a lace weight "fuzzy". Love!! One thing I love about EFA is the color combination ideas and Chandi's super positive and uplifting emails!! Thank you!

I had the awesome opportunity of being a test knitter for this pattern. It is absolutely stunning! The lace side looks really unique, and then the other side has the ever-changing detail that keeps you interested. Definitely recommend this pattern!!
